I took these pictures just before Karl left today. Garin was "helping" Daddy to arrange his pen and pencil in his uniform pockets. We had a hard time saying goodbye, but I think that we did very well under the circumstances. I had a good cry while I fed lunch to Garin, and then we both went to bed for a nap. Garin seems a little out of sorts....you can't convince me the little ones don't know something's up. I am fine except for the headache that always lingers after a good cry. Karl was scanning radio stations right after he left and ran across one that was playing a Green Day song called "Wake Me Up When September's Over." It made him laugh (he returns in early October), and he gave me a call to tell me about it. I am golfing with friends tomorrow morning at the base golf course, so that will be a good chance to have some fun and get back to normal, such as it is.
I have said from the start that I would rather be married to Karl and only see him some of the time than to be married to someone else who is home every night but doesn't love me the way Karl does. It is so true. I am a blessed woman. I am so proud of him.
