Missing you

Tom tom,
I got to talk to you tonight! :o) talking with you about our plans for the wedding, when you come home next, and our future in general makes me smile and most certainly helps lift my spirits knowing your about to deploy tomorrow. I'll miss not being to talk to you as much, but I know that time flies by so much faster because we're both working so hard to make all of our plans come true.  My goal is to take it day by day, and before you know it, baby Henry (sister's baby hah) will be here and you'll be home for our engagement pary! (TBD) I love you hunny, and out of the 10 years we've known each other, I've never been as proud of you as I am now. Keep up the hard work and know that this time away from one another is only a little bitty part of our lives before we get to spend the rest of it together. Forever will be here before we know it... it goes faster than you think, so don't blink! My thoughts and prayers are with you always. Loving you every second of every day.
xoxo -Mal & Hollybear

LOVE this!!


Why the wedding ring is worn on the fourth finger: The Chinese give a beautiful explanation to this. The thumb represents your parents. The index finger represents your siblings. The middle finger represents yourself. The ring finger represents your life partner. The little finger/pinky represents your children. Hold your hands together like the picture. Join your middle fingers back-to-back, and the remaining fingers tip-to-tip. Now, try to separate your thumbs. They will separate because your parents are not destined to live with you forever. Rejoin your thumbs and separate your index fingers. They will separate because your siblings will have their own families and lead their own lives. Rejoin your index fingers and separate your little fingers/pinkies. They will separate because your children will grow up, get married, and settle down. Rejoin your little fingers/pinkies and try to separate your ring finger. They will not be able to separate because your life partner is meant to be with you throughout your entire life, through thick and thin. Beautiful. This will be read at my wedding
