I can not.... absolutely not.... it is positively impossible for me to explain to you how happy I am. My uncontrollable smile has returned in full force.... and it is no joke!
Brenton went on a much needed and much deserved trip to Maine and Boston (most of his family lives up there). I was so happy for him to go see family that he literally hadn't seen in years.... I could hear the happiness and excitement in his voice with every little conversation filled with quick little tid bits of his trip! All of the excitement for Brenton in the world could not let me forget how much I missed him.
Here's a sample of how my day would go.... Alarm. I miss him. Take out Dempsey. I miss him. Brush my teeth. Get ready for work.... read the note he left me on the mirror. I MISS HIM. Get settled at work. Send e-mails. Make calls. I miss him. Stay busy.... stay busy.... stay busy.... but I still miss him. Finish up the work day.... head home.... no Brenton.... I miss him. Take out Dempsey. Play Fetch with Dempsey (can tell Dempsey wishes I could throw like Brenton). I miss him. Make dinner.... eat dinner.... stay busy.... stay busy.... tv on so I don't hear things that creep in the night (haha I am a HUGE. HUGE. HUGE. baby about being alone at night.... I'm not proud of this). I miss him. Get ready for bed. Talk to Brenton. MISS HIM EVEN MORE!!!
It was just another reminder that just when I think I couldn't possibly squeeze in any more love for him..... it grows.... and grows. I am so lucky to miss someone SO much, and have someone missing me SO much. I truly have the most amazing friend in him.
Before I knew it, Brenton had an AmAzInG trip, and there he was waiting for me outside our apartment. The uncontrollable smile plastered on my face.... no hug has EVER felt so good!
