EPOV
Three weeks.
It's been three weeks and we haven't gotten a call or a letter from you.
It's hard not hearing from you…not knowing that you're okay.
Olivia gets so excited every day when the mailman comes, and then when she doesn't see anything from you…my heart breaks as the disappointment takes over her face.
She understands though that you had to go away for work, that it'll be hard for you to send us letters or call.
She just misses you.
We both do.
I remember the first time you were away from me…when you were away for some of your advanced training.
How hard that was for us when you couldn't always call or write.
When you came home we got matching lockets.
And after Olivia was born we had one made for her and added her picture to it.
We had them inscribed on the front.
More than my own life they say.
Olivia and I wear ours every day.
Do you still have yours with you?
Does it offer you the same comfort it offers me?
Does it remind you of how much we both love you…how much we both need you?
It reminds me…every day.
It always will…as if I would ever even need the reminder.
As if I could ever forget.
