We can diffuse bombs and walk marathons

I love my husband, and I miss him very much. He's been gone, one day shy, of two weeks. I keep telling myself, I'm further now, than I was two weeks ago. I'm trying to remain positive, but there are times when I find it's proving difficult. I'm overwhelmed by taking care of our son, and our new puppy (who isn't house broken), our cats, the bills, and the house. I just have to breathe and think about the future. I think all of this will get easier once I can mail him letters. I keep getting them from him, and I've been responding every day, faithfully, but I don't have his address yet. I know the old stand by of tattooing another persons name on your body, and the chances of you two going your separate ways are increased. I think that's stupid. It's like Murphy's law, I guess. Aren't there exceptions? I think so, and I'd like to be one of them. I'm going to start a chest piece within the next few weeks. It's going to be mainly script, and a few other surprises thrown in. I want it to say "Always and Forever". That's how long I plan on being with Jeremy, for always and forever. He's been such a major influence in my life, and impacted me so greatly. I wish I had taken the opportunity to tell him these things before he left. He's a good man, and like any man, makes mistakes. That's all they were though, simple mistakes and accidents. When he gets back, both of us are going to have to work on our "forgive and forget" skills. I, especially have a hard time letting go. I bottle, and bottle, and bottle, and then I implode. I fight countless battles inside myself, and rip myself to shreds. "You're your own worst critic." Couldn't apply more to any one person. I think I'm going to start working on my paintings again, it seemed to help keep me busy. I enjoy creating, and building, and tinkering and destroying. I want to do another tri-canvas piece, but Jeremy isn't here to help. It might help for me to do it on my own though. I think I'm going to try and start my scrapbook business back up. Sarah Leroux and I never got far when we first started, but maybe now we can. So, if anyone wants a custom scrapbook, let me know!
