Clingy

Friends had warned me about what to expect before a deployment. Usually before Mario leaves for a big trip we don't get along well because we are both stressed. I thought that was how this time would be leading up to the deployment. But so far it has been the opposite.

Ever since he has returned from North Carolina I have been so clingy to him. It reminds me of how I felt when we were first married. I didn't even want to go to Relief Society because then we would be separated. Well, 15 1/2 years later, I feel like a newlywed again. I want to sit next to him on the couch, follow him around the house, and not go anywhere without him. I am trying to figure out why I am so clingy. Maybe part of it has to do with his friend still missing in Haiti. It sure makes me realize how short life really can be.

I keep asking him if I am bothering him and of course he is so sweet and says no. He says he hopes that I will be continue to be like this after he gets back and has been home for awhile. Unfortunately I will probably fall back into my old ways and get busy and take him for granted again. But I hope not. I love being around him. He is truly my best friend and there is not another person I would rather be around (yes I did write this, he didn't sneak on to my account again.)
