Happy Valentine's Day! Now that that's out of the way, on to the tonight's entry.
With Tom leaving for his deployment this morning, I thought it would have an absolutely horrible time finding out what to write about this evening. This deployment is a lot harder for me. I think with everything that we've been through, we've found out how much more we love each other and how much more committed we are to one another. Watching the buses pull away broke my heart. That was when I finally broke down. It was my good friend Lydia that helped save my day today. She is who I'm grateful for.
She was there to say goodbye to her friends as well, but I think she knew I would need her today, more than other time. She came through. She gave me a shoulder to cry on and cried with me. She's been through the same emotions and circumstances as myself, and we've become very close friends through the years. I couldn't be more grateful for her. She's always there when I need her. She kept Ellie and I company while we all ate breakfast at IHOP this morning. Because I wasn't ready to go to an empty house, we went back to hers. She offered to let Ellie stay with her for a few hours so that I could go home and decompress and take care of the pups and cat. She made Ellie and me dinner so that I wouldn't have to deal with it tonight. She went far and above what's needed from a friend. She was my angel today. I can't thank her enough for helping me get through today. Thank you Lyida.

Good night.
