This morning came with the sinking realization that the final minutes of our time together were ticking away. Today was the last goodbye we will ever have to have but that only did so did so much to dull the heartache of having to once again take Alan to the airport and return to an empty house. We got up early, got Alan packed, and sat down to breakfast of coffee and doughnuts only to realize it was daylight savings time. Our last hour together was stolen just like that, although avoiding the long drawn out goodbye might have been a blessing in disguise. So Mia and I camped out on the couch, caught up on American Idol and Lost, and felt sorry for ourselves. Two more months of deployment is nothing compared to the ten that are behind us. That is encouraging but simply to chipper of an outlook for me today. Tomorrow is a new day and every sunrise means another day is behind us. So bring on tomorrow, bring on work, bring on the daily grind, and bring on May 14th!!!
