Precious Moments.

In this moment, it hit me how lucky I am to have such an amazing husband and wonderful father for Bubba. He is always going above and beyond his “dad” duties and helping me out. He takes Bubs outside while I cook dinner, he does the dishes after dinner, he helps with Bubba’s baths, and folds and puts away laundry. I know a lot of guys don’t help with any of this and sometimes I take it for granted. 

When Z was deployed, Bubba wasn’t around yet and I was constantly struggling to face each day with the utmost positivity. There would be days to weeks that I didn’t hear from him, wondering if he was safe and alive. Now that he’s home, I take simple things for granted, like a phone call or falling asleep next to him. Him annoying me with tickles or wanting to snuggle when I’m having a “fat” day. Or having him here to make me laugh in person vs. through a computer screen. 

I don’t know why all of this hit me so hard yesterday, but I realized that I need to stop taking it all for granted and remember what my life felt like without him. I pray that another deployment never becomes a reality for us, but I need to start enjoying the time I have him here and the time the boys have together in case that time ever comes.
