He finally called!!

I just talked to my husband on the phone today and I must say, hearing his voice and knowing he's fine had made me feel so relieved!! I had been so worried about him, but now that I got to talk to him, I feel much better. He told me the reason he wasn't able to reply to any of my e-mails. They stopped the outgoing e-mails due to important reasons. He got the ones I sent him but he wasn't able to reply me back. Phones were down and even up to now they aren't working. He just borrowed a phone to be able to call me. He said, he tried three times and it wouldn't let him through because of the bad signal and finally when it did, after a good 14 minutes of conversation over the phone, it got cut off. It took him another 25 minutes to get to call me back. It got at me a little bit, but I was so happy I got to talk to him, so I just shrugged my shoulders and let it go. I didn't want to feel any less than the happiness I felt at that particular moment for getting to hear my husband's voice. We don't get to talk on the phone as much as we want to, that's why every time he has a chance to call me and the phones are working, we make the most out of it because we'll never know when the next phone call would be. Just being able to talk to him today was more than enough for me to feel grateful to God. I can't thank Him enough for constantly watching over my husband and everybody else on that ship and for keeping them away from harm. God is great indeed!!

Hearing the sound of my husband's voice made me want to just run to him, hold him close to me, and never let go. I miss him every moment and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't long to be held in his arms and to even just feel the warmth of his breath on my skin. Every passing day is a miracle to us. While he's out there willing to risk his own life for The Land that he loves, I am here, alone in my room silently praying that we'll have our love ones back safe and just as they were when we last saw them. I could never ask for anything else right now than to have my husband back home safely. And that same goes to every family that has their love ones, too on deployment. I know that each and everyone of us is praying for them and because of that, I no longer have reasons to fear. God is with them always, I strongly believe in it!! And before we know it, they're already home, lovingly wrapping us in their arms. The days we've spent apart from each other will no longer matter as what we have at the present would matter more.
