Just a little ramble

How do we do it, why do we do it?  I only understand a little bit, and I am doing it.  

Two hearts so far away, still beating the same beat, 

two souls singing the same song.

We are still together on this road we travel along.

     Every week, somebody says to me, how do you do it?  My answer varies day by day, depending on how much energy I have left after I have given so much.  The honest answer...  I trust.  I trust my husband to do what is best for his family.  I trust in the relationship we have built, and at times rebuilt.  I trust that my love for him will never fade, never again falter, never.  I trust in the plan God has for our lives.  I trust in the plan He has for our children's lives as well.  

     I believe in a life that is better than our past.  A life that is still full of obstacles, but really we faced the toughest already.  I believe in a life of hope, and strength.  I believe in building a future for our children and not living only in this moment.  I believe that sharing our story is something we must do.  Sharing the hardships, the blessings, the trials, and the triumphs.  I believe in growing as a person and as a wife, and how do you grow without challenges?

     Right now, people see the physical distance between my husband and I.  They may judge, and they may question, but the reality is our relationship is not built on the physical.  We can be strong together, we can be weak together.  I miss him dearly, I pray for his safety and comfort daily, and that God will bring him home to us safely.  With each trip my love only grows for this man.

     How do we do it?  We get up each morning, we do the things that need to be done, and the things we have been called to do.  We don't spend too much time questioning it, we embrace it, and allow our relationship to mature in ways others may never experience.  

  I love you my DH, SO, my love, my honey.
