Saying goodbye...

Well, today was the day... Dennis has been deployed for a year. He will spend three months in training then head off to Iraq in December. It was hard coming home to the empty house...putting away his laundry that he left in the dryer...seeing the dead spider on the floor that I sprayed last night and now don't have anyone to pick it up and throw it away for me...I guess I'll have to start using the vacuum to get them...knowing there's no need to keep the cabinet stocked with chips anymore...and erasing his Disney channel shows that he records on DVR. I would have to say that the worst part is that constant ache inside that a part of me is missing... 364 more days to go...
