Again.

Every time you leave it surprises me how much I miss you. I keep thinking I have this deployment thing down, it's far from our first. Been 8 years of saying good bye and waiting, yet every new time you leave it gets me all over again. Days go on as usual but something is missing. Please know we love you and miss you every day. Even though the house continues to run and the kids get bigger you are very much a part of our daily lives. Come home soon.
