When You Don’t Want To

So it’s been over a week since I’ve posted,far too long, and I apologize for my absence.  I got back home on Wednesday and am now reunited with my wife and daughter.  Eight months of living 9 months apart is over as I trained in the military. Instead of seeing my family only through Skype I get to see them and be with them each day.

I am  not going to lie while I was away it was painful.  We had strains and we had bad days both me and my wife.  It’s rough living apart for that long.

But it’s over. Eight months ago it seemed like this day would never come.  When I left home in January it seemed like September was years away.

Two things I realized through this experience.  One is that pain is temporary.  Yes it sucked some days, but all in all, it’s a very short time and flew by and the benefits and reward will far outweigh the short amount of time we both sacrificed in order for me to go through this life changing experience.

If you are debating making a tough decision just remember it is temporary, it will pass, and you should go for it.  Don’t live with regrets and should haves.
