She Who Waits

I just got to chat with my husband and actually had a conversation, a connection. Normally if he has IM access it's in a cafe with a 30 minute time limit and a bit of a delay on the connection. Whether we use that is dependent upon whether the computers are working or how many people are in line, so he will often email from a work computer in the office. These emails are about 10 minutes or more apart, so even less conversing is done through them, but it's at least something.

Tonight he was on an instant messenger for more than 30 minutes. Apparently there aren't many people in the cafe at 0500. :giggle: We got to go past the 'business' part of the conversation and actually talk, banter, enjoy each other. I even had time to set up the webcam so he could see the pups and I. I got teary eyed as we said goodnight, though I'm not sure he noticed. If he did, he didn't acknowledge it. I don't think I did a very good job hiding it so if he saw my tears, I hope he knows it just shows how much I love him and miss him when he's gone.

It has been a while since I have been able to really talk to my husband. It was so nice to have him 'around' for a bit and be able to enjoy his presence.
