My ship had pulled in and I needed to at some point to check in. My father had left and my husband was due to leave that morning. It had felt very comfortable to have him there. I enjoyed spending time with him. It felt so grown up. I checked into my division and then we were told to go on liberty. As I was getting off the ship I saw him. He was supposed to have left that morning but he changed his flight so he could spend a couple more hours with me.
We went shopping. Our favorite pastime. we had lunch and then it was time to take him to the airport. We took a cab to the airport. He had already checked in his luggage so it was just a matter of waiting till he boarded. He boarded the plane and I sat there and watched. I watched as the plane pulled out. I watched as it took off. I stayed watching wanting to remember his scent, his touch, his lips. At that moment I finally understood the commitment that we had made. we had gained a relationship as husband and wife. we had united in soul and in heart. we had gone through so much together, in our short time together we had lifted each other in time of difficulty. He had become more than my best friend, we was my companion. I continued to watch until I could no longer tell the difference between the sky and the plane.
