5 days and counting! That is the way things are going in the Wager household at the moment. Everything is geared around Nick going away. You can't get away from it even though we try not to talk about it too much. I know it's inevitable but it doesn't make it any better. I knew what I was getting into when I married him - then I knew he would be away some of the time. Knowing something and accepting something are one thing you don't have to like it (that isn't written into the bargain!). So when people say to me "But he's in the Forces you must have known he would have to go away!" YES I KNOW. Having said that the people who usually spout these gems of wisdom have normally never spent more than 24 hours away from their partners let alone a birthday, anniversary or major holiday i.e. Christmas. It is only at these times do you fully realise how much you depend upon your partner for company and companionship. Well I do.
Add into the equation the impending trips to the dialysis unit 3 times a week and all in all life is pretty pants right now!!!!!
