What a Wonderful Man

I deployed to Region about a week before blackbyrd2 left for Idaho. Once there and settled in he called and told me that he'd gotten me a birthday present, but didn't want to send it and I could just get it when I got home next.

As we both were finishing up work there's always the unkown of when are they going to let us go home so we can get back to our real lives and he teased me that if he got home before I did I wouldn't believe he'd gotten me a present at all, that he'd just run out to quickly buy me something. We laughed.

Sunday, I was allowed to return to the house. L is with me for a few days and shortly after we cleared enough of the investigation work that had been done in the house, I went down the hall to our room and sure enough, on the dresser I found a beautiful long stemmed rose shaped from metal lying on the dresser with a card (I never had any doubt that I would find what he had left).

The card was so achingly poingnant.

A Birthday Love Letter to You

My dream for us is that we'll always wake up just a pillow's whisper away from each other - that we'll keep snuggling on the couch when we're watching TV and reaching out to hold hands when we're walking side by side...

My dream for us is that we'll always have ideas and plans for the what-ifs and somedays stretching out ahead of us and that we'll keep growing closer and discovering new things to love about each other.

You are my dream come true, Happy Birthday With All My Love.

(and was signed)
Someday...

Me


Have you ever cried your eyes out while smiling at the same time?


Someday Sweetheart. Just not yet.
