@sparklewithamberraye: After almost a year away with the Marine Corps A year of missed holidays Missed milestones Missed snuggles on the couch Missed everyday moments with our boys Our boys can’t say they miss him with words But I see it in the way they look for him The way they hold onto his pictures The way they light up when they hear his voice This year has been heavy Solo parenting Quietly holding it all together Wishing he was here for the little things most people take for granted But now There’s a light at the end of the tunnel 8 more days until he’s home 8 more days until the boys feel their daddy’s arms again 8 more days until I can finally exhale We made it Almost And it’s everything
