each day i spend apart from my wife is a day i am missing a vital part of who i am. marriage being what it is — a sacred vow between two individuals that have became one flesh together — to be far from one's wife is to be far from a part of oneself. i know there's only a week and a few days left 'til i see my love again, but i thought i would take the time to list the things i miss about her.
- feeling her skin against mine. how obvious? maybe, but this is the first thing i think about when i think about missing her.
- the smell of her hair. so many things here remind me of it. even smelling my own pillow which smells nothing like her reminds me of her hair's scent.
- her pouty faces. pictures through sms and e-mail just aren't the same. i want to see it live and up-close.
- the monster dog. i know, missing the dog isn't the same as missing her. but every time i look at my cat, i remember that the dog is not here. you know?
- intimacy in general. being in close proximity with someone has an effect on how you feel about that person. it's irreplaceable.
- watching videos/t.v. shows together. when we're apart, i'm not allowed to watch 'our shows' [except for lost] until we're together again. i don't really miss the shows at all, i just miss watching them together with her.
this is clearly not an exhaustive list, and i could go on and on about missing her, but i won't. those who are reading this may or may not know how much i love my wife, and how much i long to be in her arms again. but if you didn't before, i hope you have a better idea now. today was a good day, and i got a lot accomplished again. this time it was on the website, which is about 80% done, thanks to the guy finally sending me the pictures i needed. i'll post a longer blog tomorrow, but for now i must sleep and dream of my lovely bride.
Oh how I miss you too. Here's my list:
ReplyDeletewaking up to your face
putting my cold feet under your legs at night
come back from work with you there to greet me (or vice versa)
- it's not home without you
going out to eat with you or making food for you (I don't miss arguing about what to eat)
the way you wake me up talking and laughing in your sleep
dancing together
pouting and you making me do the penguin dance
your lips on mine
and one more:
singing silly songs together while playing games or driving around.
I could also say more but these are a few things I miss. I love you. It's like a week and 2 days until I see you!!! I am praying for your trip, for your departure, for your stops and for your arrival. I also pray for good weather and that you will stay well rested on the way. I loving you and missing you. Bah. Now I'm all teary eyed. Hehe.
