Bringing the Suck..

Thats the term that we use when something is horribly screwed up, and yet we know that we have to do it and so we embrace it, and get through it. I just got back from a wonderful 4 day visit that included an incredible night in a hotel in downtown Long Beach, a visit with my parents, seeing my brother and sister-in-law, and just being normal again. The visit with the SO was great. It took us a couple of days to get used to each other again, but the end was bad.

Leaving home for the 3rd time, lat night was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. It will be at least 6 months before I see her beautiful smile again, hold her in my arms, smell her hair after she gets out of the shower...etc. It sucks, so I embrace it, and I go with the love of her and my family, and go on about the business of war, and hope to come home to my adopted home town, and to the woman that I left behind, like I said, Bring the Suck..
