During our somewhat "usual" conversation of catching each other up on our lives something magical happened, something I haven't heard in 4 long tedious months. My husband singing. Simple I know, but to any of you who know Mike, he loves to sing and loves music. Though he will be the first to tell you he is not a good singer, I beg to differ.
This song all came from a silly video I watched on the internet and told him about. I watched a video of 9 years singing a Journey song and sounding amazing. So I told Mike when we have kids (yes, soon. Possibly when he gets back) that I want our kids to play an instrument but not the piano something, "cool." Mike immediately threw back, "Candi, there are many good artist who play the piano. Elton John, Billy Joel, Ray Charles, and so many more!" Realizing that I was wrong suddenly Mike began singing Piano Man, by Billy Joel. Suddenly I felt my eyes fill with heavy tears and my cheeks wet with moisture from them . I stayed quiet to enjoy the moment. He sang for about twenty seconds and it was the best twenty seconds of my day, actually of my last four months.
I will not lie this deployment is killing me emotionally and some days I mutter while I pray on my knees at night that I cant do this. I need my husband. But every day God lifts me from my sorrow and helps me move along and get one more day closer to this misery ending. I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband I am so excited to see him again. Only eight more months to go.

awesome! :)
You are a strong person. I don't know that I could do what you are doing. I think about you a lot. I hope things are going well.
I loved having you two stay with us. His little songs made me smile every day. I can't imagine how much you miss him!
