There he stood ... watching in waiting. His eyes full of fear and excitement as I walked through the terminal to greet him. A moment I will never forget. He smiled from ear to ear, as he held me in his arms for the first time. And he had wanted to hold me a long as he could remember. I picked up my belongings, and we left hand-in-hand. He was dressed to impress. The tuxedo suit, cleaned up from head to toe, apart from his shoes to which we both laughed and it broke the ice.never in his life had he felt like this. Or had I ...
For the first time ever, I knew that he was the one, and that I'd love him forever. He was so gentle and sweet. He took me to places that never been before and I was fascinated by everything around me, wanting to take in as much as I could.
His whole family welcomed me with open arms. They invited me on their vacation with them and him. It was the most wonderful time. I can still remember as if it were yesterday. We knew from the day we met, from the day we even started talking to one another that we were meant to be. I could see it in his eyes. The way he looked at me, the way he held my hand, and told me I was the most beautiful woman he had ever met, and that he would cherish every moment with me. The way he looked after me if I was sick, bringing the soup medicine and tucking Me in at night, that lay there next to him and fall asleep with his fingers to running gently through my hair, and and a gentle kiss on my forehead.
Why couldn't all men be like him? ... A new life would be a little different with him being in the military, but he was so handsome, sweet and caring, Who knew I could have ever met some wonderful as him. I was willingly give Him my life ...my everything. I trusted him with my life. He was my one and only true love, and I knew from that moment we first laid eyes on each other. From the first few words we said to each other as we held each other Tightly in each others arms. Those words were I love you
To this day, I remember the 4 words he said to me..as he told me how much he loved me, and that we were meant to be together. I cherish that ring..those words..and that ceremony. Those 4 little words 'Will you Marry me?'..
Now I am a proud Navy wife...I will stand beside him through thick and thin, no matter what is thrown at our life, we will get through it together. I am Proud for what he has done for his country and for what he has done for me. He is my whole life, and I am nothing without him. He is the one person that keeps me going when times get hard. I couldn't ask for a better husband, lover, friend or soul mate. He is all those things and more..
Chris, I want you to know how much I love you, and how much I miss u. Our love has been brought closer together because of you! You may have your faults, as I do, but no matter what you do, even if u make me mad, I could never stay mad at you. I love you too much to be angry, and I feel like i just want to hold u, and snuggle with you like we used to.
TOGETHER....FOREVER...
TILL DEATH DO US PART...
AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL LIVE

What is love?
Some people can say, well love is a feeling. Its something inside, an emotion that a lot of people express in different ways. Love is everything. It evolves all around us, everywhere we look and touch. But it can be used within the wrong context. For instance, a guy can say to his female friend who he's known for most of his life and they are not dating, 'Hey, see u tomorrow..love you" where a husband can say to his wife "I am so happy I married you, love you". The context of the word love is misused, and can upset people when used in this way, unless the other party is ok with their partner saying love you to their friend. You can love your friends, but loving your spouse is a different feeling. To some people, it does come across in the wrong way, and friendships can be jeopardized because of that one little word. So when they say it can't be thrown about, they are right. When i say they, I mean people in general..
Love is a when a mother gives birth to a baby for the first time, and time and time after. It is when a flower grows from a seed. Its the passion for work, for school, for anything in life that makes us happy, and to work hard at it. Love is seeing people smiling and laughing with each other. It's having that with someone or something that feels right, and makes u feel good about yourself.
Lust on the other hand, is doing something (i.e sex) that u 'think' u want to do, either to spite that someone else because they have hurt you, or because u just want to and have no valid reason as to why. There is no love, and no connection. Its just sex. But when in a relationship, there can be no Lust. Lust is therefore 'evil' in my eyes, and should not be anywhere in a relationship. When u get married u do so out of love. Because that would hurt it someone just married you out of lust because u looked like an easy catch and all they would want is sex. Well if that's all they wanted, then why get married? U could get that from anywhere u wanted and stay single..
Love actually 'means' something. If you love someone, u will naturally show it. U won't need to force it, or pretend. And people will be able to see from your body language and the way that you are together, that you love each other. You can see it in their eyes..
People have seen me and my husband together and have said how much in love we are with each other and that its so sweet. We don't have to pretend that we are somebody else.
If you find the one you love, and u know that he or she is definitely the one for you, then don't let them go..you may never have the same feelings for another person like you do for them.
Work at it: If things go wrong in a relationship, talk to each other and find out the cause of the anger or the disagreement, or whatever it is in the relationship that's making it not as good as it could be
Tell them that you love them: Even if they already know, its nice to have someone tell you that they love you..
Surprise them: Cook dinner, clean up around the house, sort the children out, wash his clothes, take him out to dinner, or buy him things here and there just because. Text him/her little love notes, or leave little sticky 'i love you' notes around the house or write it on the fridge with letter magnets..Being spontaneous makes life more fun, and if they love you they would be grateful for anything that you did...
Offer to do something for them: This goes to both men and women. Be the loving spouse can also get you brownie points, in the fact that you don't really 'need' to do things for them, but you choose to out of the goodness of your own heart.
Be their best friend: Stand by them, no matter what happens. No matter if they do badly at work, and regardless to whether its their fault or not, you need to stand by them. For better or for worse the vows were. They mean something.....
And one last thing..make them feel like they are the most special thing in the world. That nothing else and no one else matters, and that you will be with them for the rest of your life.
I tell my husband that he is my soul mate, my best friend, and my world. He makes me feel like no other man has made me feel in my life, and that is love, and happiness. And I love him and will love him till the day I die..for the rest of my life..

Thoughts....
I have heard that when people are terminally ill and only have a few months to live that they see the world in a different light. Everything is vibrant and they feel that they should fit in as much as they can in the time that they have left doing the things that they love or wish to do, or they may regret it. Life is short. You could live till your 100, or you could die tomorrow just walking out your front door. Life is full of the unexpected, and we can't take it for granted. We only have one chance to live, or to change our life, and we should do what we can to fulfill it, and make the most of that time.
Spending time with loved ones, and enjoying every minute of every day with the people you love, doing the things that you love. That is what counts. It is the same being married to a sailor, or a marine, or a soldier. You don't take them for granted, and you spend as much time as possible with them before they go out to sea, or go IA and we worry for their safety. I have heard many people that say to me, 'Oh my husband works as a doctor. He works nights and I won't see him until the day after tomorrow and i miss him sooo much. I wish he didn't have to work nights so he could be with me" My response to them??
"Well my husband is in the Navy and he's floating in the middle of the ocean and is gone for 5- 9 months..so don't moan and talk about not seeing your husband for 2 days...have some dignity and respect for what i'm going through, and the fact that I have to sleep in MY bed on MY own..every day and you only have to wait 2 days. I wish I had to wait 2 days to see my husband"
I think its selfish that they can say that to someone married to military. We knew what we had gotten into when we got married, and we knew it was going to be hard, but you really don't need someone rubbing it in your face all the time..
Everyone wishes they had more time in life. You can't buy it, you can't sell it. We live and we die and its up to us how we do it, but one would assume that if time got shorter, that they would want to cherish that time, and fill it with good memories that people will remember and keep in their hearts for the rest of their lives. They want to remember the happiness and the laughter, not the sadness, and the tears. That's why I cherish every moment I have with my husband, when he is at home, for the chance that I may never see him again ( well for at least the duration of time he goes out to sea if he does) but you never know. You can''t take it for granted. So each and every one of you, stay close to your families, and friends and know that they love you as much as you love them. Spend quality time with them....that's whats important. Take lots of pictures, so the memories will stay not only in their hearts but on paper as well..and enjoy life whilst you have it...
