-Annie (the movie)
When I think Valentine's Day, I think of how many of them I've spent alone. It isn't a romantic thought, but there is nothing quite so difficult as to see so many happy couples and wonder if your partner is safe halfway across the world. While others take their lovers to bed, I go to bed with something of his, and a laptop and phone - just in case he calls. But how lucky am I that he is something worth longing for, loving, loyal to his country, and a commitment to protect it despite the costs?
See who's Sinful with me.
This photo is so romantic, a little sad, but you're right to feel grateful to have something so good to miss and to welcome home.
ReplyDeleteA simply stunning image and a beautiful quote as well.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to come home to that, but I would find it hard to say goodbye to as well.
ReplyDeleteLonely, yes, but lucky indeed! Beautiful!

Absolutely beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture. Stylish, simple . . . and your accompanying words make me think about how lucky some of us are and how much some of us take our situations and relationships for granted. I wish you strength and comfort, and your partner protection and a safe return.
ReplyDeleteStunning image! Simply, simply STUNNING!

SilverHubby is retired military, and even though I wish I found him earlier in our lives, I don't know how well I could have handled your experience.
ReplyDeleteThere is something stunningly beautiful and poignant about this post. You are indeed blessed to have someone so special and I hope he comes home to you very soon.

You are a lucky woman, and you have a beautiful figure!
ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful image. Haunting, sensual, memorable.
ReplyDeleteAs a man who travels and is away fairly often I can relate being on the other end of the equation.
ReplyDeleteTough, but lovely image x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Love the contrast between the seemingly glowing body and dark background
ReplyDeleteThis has wonderfully haunting beauty to it, and will be one of those posts that sticks with me.

Very touching sentiment. Your words actually brought tears to my eyes. And it's a lovely image to go with them.
ReplyDeleteThis is very very beautiful. A wonderful image to go with the quotation and vice versa.
ReplyDeleteUpon reading your words, I felt instant pride as you explain who the man in your life is & what he does.
ReplyDeleteThe quote is beautiful. Your body is ivory perfection.
