To my sailor,

I know we talk every day, but I wanted to let you and everyone else know how much I love you and how the distance between us doesn't change the love that we had that we were together. So here goes.

Thank you for always willing to listen to me when I need to vent despite the fact you're 12 hours away. Thank you for always video chatting with me just so I can see your face so I can get through the next day. Thank you for loving me from far away, when I know it's easy for you to stray without having me close by. Thank you for making sure that I am still sane after coming home from taking care of four-year-olds.

You always tell me when you're done with work so I can talk to you. You always tell me to be patient and that you'll be home soon enough. You still tease me because I'm so short, and I have to get on my tippy toes just to even give you a hug and a kiss. It still kind of makes it feel like you're here. You try to get Lucy's attention when I talk to you on the video chat but she's so stupid she doesn't notice. Except for that one time she did respond and your reaction was just adorable. You always make sure that I'm doing things for myself every once in a while because I'm always all about business. You always tease me as if you were here because, apparently, I'm cute when I'm mad.

Despite being 12 hours away, you always somehow make time for me to make sure Lucy and I are still alive and kicking. You always ask about her and try to get her attention, but she's too dumb to realize it. She loves you and you know it and I know she'll be looking forward to seeing you when you finally do come home.

Thank you for loving me even though I am a nervous wreck without you here. Thank you for making sure I'm not lonely by telling big brother Eric to make sure I'm OK. You know it's not easy for me to express my feelings to anybody, especially when I'm lonely or upset.

But most of all thank you for having the biggest heart. Not only for the way you love and care for Lucy and I but for also serving your country. It takes a special type of man to do that especially when they have a wife and family that love them very much.

I look forward to the day you come home, whether it be for a short time or when you come home permanently to be stationed. I can't wait for the day I can physically hug you and touch you. Because then I'll know that you're really here and that I'm not dreaming. I can't wait for the day all three of us (Lucy) can just sit on the couch and just enjoy each others company like we did before. When we can go on family walks together when the weather is nice out.

I promise when you come home I'll have a nice scotch waiting for you. I'll have your favorite steak dinner cooked, since I know you miss my cooking because you say it all the time. I'll also make sure Lucy is happy to see you, since it's your turn to give her all the pets and belly rubs since I've been filling that void since you left.

I love you, miss you, and I can't wait to see you.
