They had a commercial on tv today for one of those love song collection cd's and it had the song "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx on it. I think the song came out sometime in the early 90's. I don't really remember exactly when but I remember liking it because it was popular at the time. I did that a lot. I would like songs but not listen to the lyrics really well. I'm really good at memorizing lyrics though so after I saw the commercial, I started singing the song. I couldn't remember all of the lyrics, but as I started singing them I realized how much the song was how I feel right now. So now I'm loving the song even more.

Richard Marx
Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day and I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line but it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never how can we say forever

* Wherever you go whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times that I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears but I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby you've got me goin' crazy

[Repeat *]

I wonder how we can survive this romance
But in the end if I'm with you I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby you've got me goin' crazy

[Repeat *]

Gotta love thos sappy romance songs. I've been thinking a lot of how much I've taken for granted. I want to say that I won't do it again, but I thought a lot of these same thoughts when he was at basic/AIT. Is it just in our nature to take everything for granted? Definitely something I'm wanting to work on.

I'm making a calendar spread for my son to get the idea of what a "really long time" is when I talk to him about how long his daddy will be gone. I ordered a poster sized print of his Daddy to go with it. It came yesterday and we put it up today. It really is a hilarious picture. I think it shows so very much of my husbands personality. He is such a goofball and is always trying to make everyone laugh. Now he can be serious when he needs to be, like at work, but usually he is just a lot of fun.
