So, there is a reason for my lack of blogging here. I haven't heard anything! Macade evidently has been on several missions this week. It has been a stressful week for us too.
So I heard from him this morning finally and he is OK. They have been very busy and I don't know that they even take time to really celebrate the holidays.
So I sit here this Christmas Eve waiting to hear from him. Knowing that he woke up this morning in another country on the other side of the world. Neither of us will have a "normal" Christmas. It may be memorable, but not the same. I know that it never will be.
He was having a rough night, but said he was a man now and needs to deal with things and move on. Wow.
I miss him. I want to hug him. I want to smell him. Weird, I know. Your kids have a smell though and I miss it like I miss him. I want him to be safe. I want to be able to talk to him and comfort him. I want to say Merry Christmas to him knowing that he is not going to go out to put his life on the line, just for a day even.
I want to ask again for everyone to not forget Macade after the holidays. I have heard that the next few weeks are the toughest because they aren't getting as much mail. Cade is looking forward to coming home for a bit, so that might help. But if you think of him throughout the holidays, drop him a little line. He always loves hearing from everyone. Thanks everyone. Merry Christmas! May there be PEACE on earth.
