Separation anxiety

Mac was deployed for 368 days. We spent about 8 months apart before he even came home for leave. Even after all that, I still don’t like spending nights without him. I travel for work, and this occasionally requires overnight trips. He’s still in the Army, so he regularly goes to the field for training. Thankfully, he hasn’t had as many overnighters since he was promoted and moved up to battalion. I realize that he could potentially deploy again.

Sometimes, I wonder how we made it a whole year apart. We’ll be spending almost a whole month together from vacation to moving to Mac’s course starting. We haven’t spent this much time together since he came home from Afghanistan. But I am excited for it. Time with my husband? What a crazy notion.

How do y’all deal with time apart? What do y’all do take make your time together more special?
