It has taken a very looong time to get to this point. In two more months the Price Charming of the Ackles Family will be reunited with his Princesses....and they cannot wait. Neither can I for that matter. The girls are my hero's, Eric is too, but really when I sit back and think about the things that must go through their tiny brains; the worry, not knowing, fear of the unknown- I am so proud of them.
Has it been a looong half a year? ABSOLUTELY! Have the girls had their fair share of terrible days? ABSOLUTELY! Has mom gone a little off the deep end? Probably a few times.... but through it all, we have nearly conquered this thing. I can't imagine what it is like for a 10, 7 and 3 year old to have to miss daddy...a year is a huge chunk of time at that age. Remember how long a school year took... forever.
As the months are winding down to our R and R, the house is filled with anticipation of fun days, exciting memories and even the dreaded day when we will once again say goodbye...it's all worth it. It is in these emotional moments that I get to see what we have made these amazing girls into; they have some unbelievable grit, all military kids do. It really is unbelievable; just no other word for it.
Pray for us; God knows we will need it! Saying goodbye is rough, but getting those brief moments to say hello again make it all worth it.
