Lonely

He has not even left yet but I am already missing my hubs. He will be gone for 4 days and nights and I miss him. He is taking his final final LOL! and then he has to leave to get there before dark. I know it will be OK cause he is my soulmate, but I worry when we are apart. Is he eating right. Is he taking care of himself. What is he doing? Is he sleeping cause I know I wont be. When you have loved someone this much for this long it is harder and harder to be apart. I now know why my grandparents only lived 6 months after the other died. They had been married over 88 years when my great grandmother died. They got married when she was 15. She lived until she was 104. Can you imagine? According to my grandmother, their daughter, they were only apart for hospital stays all their lives. They farmed and my grandfather made his living that way. Their farm. They ran it together--ALWAYS! I will never forget the look in his eyes when we came back to his house from the funeral that day. I was only about 10, but the sadness that was there and the loneliness he must have felt I can still feel to this day. She was a beautiful woman. I see the hairs in my head getting white instead of grey and I know I got that from her. Her hair was solid white and down past her butt when she died. She almost always wore it in a bun unless it was a special occasion. He insisted she was going to a better place and would be happier there and so they had to have it down to bury her. He put his favorite pipe in her hand in the coffin. That is the kind of love that does not come around every day. I have that. I love my hubby that way and I know he loves me that way too. I feel like the luckiest woman on the planet!
