Tonight will be my last night alone, Inshallah.The house is cleaned, the welcome home banners are up. The trash has been taken out and my dress is hanging neatly in my closet. My hair is freshly trimmed, the car is cleaned, and tomorrow cannot come soon enough.
While deployment is something I never want to go through again (and would prefer not to have gone through in the first place!), I did learn a lot about myself over the past nine months. Not all of it was good, of course, but some was. I hope that I can take the good and learn from the bad in the future.
For now, though, it will be enough to write finis to this separation.
Congratulations, have a wonderful homecoming!
