hopefully the last time
Today was the day we've been dreading. Jordan had to go back to Afghanistan (for what we hope will be the last time). Saying good-bye is always painful.
When he came home 2 weeks ago it felt like he had never left and that he was never going to leave again. He is my best friend and my greatest companion. We make a good team. Life without him just feels wrong.
As we came home from the airport today I ran into little pieces of him here and there, socks on the floor, shirt hanging to dry, shoes in the kitchen. I'm trying to hold on to the feeling of him being here. The thought crosses my mind... should I leave his shoes there until he gets back?? At least until tomorrow.
Jordan is strong and good about putting on a happy face. I love this first picture because I think it caught a glimpse of the emotion he was desperately trying to hold back.

I'm really sad. that was so cute and heartbreaking. I hope jordan won't be gone too long this time and he can finally be home for good.
Thanks Jeanne. Me too.
Those pictures are so awesome and so sad at the same time. When will he get to come home? I can't imagine how hard that would be. Hugs to you and Rose.
Thanks Lindsey. He'll be home in Jan or Feb hopefully.
