I enjoyed your entry. I have a similar entry in my blog, called Merry Go Round. It’s a challenge to be sure. Saying goodbye to my husband every three months or so, sometimes more sometimes less. Having him gone for another three months. The hardest part for me I think, is hearing the sound of his voice. (No phones on submarines, and my husband doesn’t travel on the type that actually pull into ports, he’s underwater, THE WHOLE TIME!) I find really creative ways to deal with my loneliness and longing. I write in conversation journals, I cut hearts out of paper and tape them all over the house every time I see something that reminds me of his love, or everytime I’m just thinking of him, missing him. That one cheers me up like nothing else! Then I write blog entries about it ;) But most of all, I think of what a blessing it is that I have someone to miss like this. It is an acute reminder that I have a gift many others are deprived of. The days without him pass, no one can stop time, and he will always come home to me.

Ramona, I emailed you back on your email about “The Carousel” what a wonderful and nervous time this all must be for you. Go see it because I have a lot of questions. Love you my dear!

Sorry you’ll be apart. I don’t know how long at a time, but I’d imagine it isn’t easy. I hope that you stay busy with fun projects and that that time goes by quickly.
