Barby Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Arrange for a babysitter, (someone she can trust like her mom or your's) either cook her a great dinner or order something take-out and have a nice quiet evening at home, talking and making up for lost time. Bring her a (one) rose (or flower of her liking) make sure you're smelling like whatever colonge you usually use, whisper sweet nothings in her ear, let her know how much you've missed her, how much you love her, and show her how much you appreciate how wonderful she is.... I'm sure she's thinking about how special she wants things to be between the two of you when you get back as well. You don't have to spend very much money in order to show someone how much you love them. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
chele Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 First, let me just say thank you. Your service in Iraq is appreciated! I am an army wife, my husband is currently in Kuwait waiting to transition home. Having not seen him in over 12 months has been very tough for myself and our children at times. Write her a note before you head home, let her know that you miss her, that you love her, that you want her, thank her for your child and tell her that you'd choose her all over again. For me, having something that he's written, put his heart into, something that I can hold or put under my pillow brings me comfort. The saying goes "Military Wife - toughest job in the army." I'm not so sure about that but it's difficult to say the least. Good luck to you both! Link to post Share on other sites
