I haven't written in a while because, quite frankly, life has gotten too busy/complicated/tedious/uninspiring (pick one) to write about. For the most part we are mostly/sort of/sometimes (pick one) fine, but sometimes we are fabulous/horrible (you know the drill...pick one).
For the most part, I've stopped counting time in days and weeks, there are just too many. I now observe time in months -- months that we've been apart, months between visits, months until we will all be together again as a family...except that we never really will. Two sons are grown, and by the time my husband returns, another will have graduated. Time has become my enemy -- passing too slowly, or too quickly, but never at my preferred pace.
Who would have thought that the last six month would be more difficult than the first...
