For the first time in 7 months
we have our 1st separation.
My husband is away.
He is in another part of France
Since we came to Paris
I confessed that I am a little pampered.
My husband gets to start work at 9 and reach home at 6
I have forgotten that he wears a uniform
I have forgotten those crazy working hours
I have forgotten that being away from home is a norm
and not getting to see him for weeks is usual
Such separations may be common
but I have never really gotten used to it
It is a tough position
and it doesn’t work going either way
if you know what I mean.
I remember waking up in the wee hours
just to hear him talk about his day
surprisingly,
I enjoy it
I truly do
For I love what I see in his eyes
something which doesn’t come natural to me
and took me a long while to find.
A passion for the work he does.
It is this passion
that thereon leads our lives
It is this passion
that makes some of our choices clear
It is this passion
that makes me sit here, ponder and write
and it is this passion
that makes the wait worthwhile.
separation makes the love that much stronger doesn’t it? ~ Oooops, this is only applicable to couples who can stand the test of time… *wink* and I STRONGLY believe you 2 are THOSE kind of couple! *smile*
dont worry much, you can explore paris with malcolm when he’s away hehehe…
enjoy paris while you’re there!
That is just awesome….he is one lucky man to have a wife that supports him like you do!
And you are blessed to be able to feel and share in his passion as well.
Great example to Malcolm.
You are very lucky that your husband doesn’t travel that much. It can get quite boring for SAHMs like us, especially when we live in foreign countries. My husband travels every month, each time 2-3 weeks, and it can get quite boring, tiring and frustrating over time, having to take care of a 2 y.o. hyperactive toddler all on my own. By the way, thanks for visiting my website, and you are the first person to acknowledge my song playlist and the eye candies pictures!! Hehehehe!
well at least this is a once in a while trip rite? as compared to b4.. u’re seeing him so much that you’re so used to him being around now.
