a strong and daily presence in my emotional life. My dream this morning, however fleetingly, let me feel as though he were physically by my side. I miss him very much. Very often my waking thoughts of Sampson's return focus on the excitement and emotional high of his future homecoming. While wonderful and special and all that good stuff, those dizzy heights are not our favorite part of a reunion. My dream this morning vividly reminded me of all the quieter pleasures to which we can look forward upon his return. "Ready the couch for the best afternoon nap ever" is definitely getting added to my pre-homecoming checklist. Aw, that's so sweet It reminds me of a card my husband sent me while he was away at training. It said something along the lines of "I can't wait to get home and sit around doing nothing with you." Those quiet moments together can be the best moments -- I hope they get here for you soon!
