Home Sick.


A

few months after I met Hubby {who was then my boyfriend} he went away for work. He jetted off to work in Bali just after the Bali bombings. I missed him terribly. You know what it’s like when you’ve just met each other. You want to spend every waking {and sleeping too} moment together.

He’d come home every so often, and I remember that drive to the airport to pick him up. It didn’t matter what time of day or night it was, I was there. I hardly slept the night before. My stomach did flip flops as I drove along. It felt like it took forever to get to the airport, even though it was only 30 minutes from home.
Driving him back to the airport {to go back to work} was always a super fast trip and I never wanted to say goodbye. I’d have a few tears as I sadly drove back home.
Eventually his stint of working overseas was over and he was back home for good. We moved in together and barely spent a moment apart. We married and then fell pregnant with little Lacey Mae.
Whilst pregnant I couldn’t stand to spend a moment away from Hubby. I get pangs of homesickness whilst doing the grocery shopping for work alone. I wanted and needed to be with Hubby. I’m not sure if other pregnant women feel the same, but it was an overwhelming need to be near him. So overwhelming that I’d well up with tears in the cereal aisle. {Crazy? Perhaps}.
Now Hubby is away again for work. Now we have Lacey and life is a whole lot busier. I still miss him. Of course I miss him helping at around the house and cooking for me, and all that stuff. But mostly I miss his company. I miss him. I miss his presence. I miss laughing about stuff. Stupid, silly stuff. I miss seeing his smile. I miss talking to him. And I know he misses me {us} too.
Five years ago this month I married my best friend. I feel like I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I know that Hubby will read this {surprise Hubby!}. I know that he’s a little homesick too. I just want to say, thank you. Thank you loving me the way you do. Thank you choosing me. Thank you for being you. I love you. xx

  2. Beautiful Telle, just beautiful. I know exactly what you mean about missing his sheer presence. It's like that for me when Mr is away for work. Tough gig being without your love. xxx

  3. That's really lovely, to love someone so much it makes you miss them so much. As a soldier's wife, i spend a LOT of time alone & loved having children fill that silence when he was away. Also a hobby is really great, especially if you can turn it into a career & still be a stay at home mummy!!
    My handsome soldier is just back from spending the ENTIRE year so far overseas in a war zone, i hold him so tight, i can't believe he's home safe & well. Just did a post on how much i love him, after 16 year, 4 children, 4 wars, i still get butterflies in my tummy when i know it's him calling, it's him at the door, it's him next to me. Lovely post, love Posie

  4. Awwh.
    I almost went crazy with out my man & he went for 2wks.
    The first time he went away I was pregnant I was like a lost puppy.
    But this time Bella helped alot with the missing him, as I still had part of him with me.

    WOHOO 5YEARS enjoy.

  5. That's great! And impressive mr. Hubby for reading your blog.
    When I have been away in the past we have written real, paper and pen snail mail letters and its very special.

  6. Lovely photo! Thankyou for sharing that lil snapshot…it's nice for me to remember the love I had for my husband in the days where we were dating!

  7. What a lovely wedding pic! I know what you mean. My husband is a soldier so goes away for anything from a night to 9 months at a time and no matter what length of time or how busy I get, I still miss him. And Often I will say “Im lonely”. But Im really only lonely for him. No one else really cuts the mustard, no matter how much I love them.

  8. I love that there are still people in the world who truly love. you're one of them! so special. you looked radiant on your wedding day. Happy anniversary xx

  9. It's so wonderful to remember why we married our men. Glad you have such fond memories. They're the ones that will keep you living (and loving) each other. Hope he comes home soon. xx

  10. Oh lovely LOVELY post. We are just getting used to being away from each other and it is HARD. coming up for 11 years makes me sound old – but we married young 🙂 (WooHoo!!)

  11. because the one you love will be good with this. because the one you love will understand it. because the one you love will feel the same way (even though they may express it in a slight different way.)
