The healing power of Love & Togetherness

It's been a quiet day for me, lots of time to think and reflect on things. You see, for the past 2yrs I have been very sick with my Asthma off and on. Hospital stays, treatments, losts of drugs, lots of side effects from those drugs. Depression has been a big part of the last 2yrs also and though medication helps, it doesn't always do the job completely. Since my husband who is a Marine has been here in Phoenix recruiting and let's just say that it's been the hardest part of his 19yr long career. Long hours, commuting and never being home. And when he was home he was tired and grumpy and disconnected from us....not his fault but still hard to deal with. I suppose that in time we all fell into some sort of routine, just muddling through...embracing the good and ignoring the bad. In the middle of all of that our family had to deal with all of my health issues. Not cool. Now on to the good part, my "revelation" shall we say. See, my husband was moved to a different location a few weeks ago until we move this summer. So, he is home every night usually by 6pm. I am close enough to go and see him at his office for lunch whenever I want. Every morning I get up at 7am after he gets back from the gym and we have coffee together, talk, and I make him breakfast. Then our youngest goes off to school and we have 30mins to ourselves since he doesn't have to be to work until 9am. As a result...I am feeling better, I am better, I am happy. I have my husband back, my family is whole again. I know that my health is improving because my husband is home and able to support me, help out and just sit next to me and watch my silly TV programs. The kids are happier...telling dad about their day at school. Having him help them with computer problems, watching Survivor and cheering for the opposite teams...lol...and my husband says he doesn't like Survivor....whatever....lol....I have always been a big believer in the healing power of love....the power of a family being together....Sometimes his career takes him away from us....but that's part of being who he is, a Marine. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you....whomever you may be....
Goodnight....
