Today I'm missing my best friend. I'll be glad when he is home. The planets don't align when he's gone and I don't have a smile on my face. Hurry home! I love you! We spoke briefly on the phone tonight and tried not to talk about how many more trips he'll have to take in the upcoming weeks. If we don't talk about it maybe it won't happen... and then again "denial" is not a river in Egypt.
