Off They Go Again...

Mark's ship left today for another deployment. I was planning to go to the pier to see him before they leave and watch the ship sail off like I normally would, but he called me early this morning and advised me not to go since he was tied up with work and I wouldn't be able to see him. Had I not stayed up late the night before, I would have gone anyways, but I was so caught up in my sleep. Now that I think of it, I regret not going. Emailing has been our primary communication. Thank God, we were born in today's world! Imagine having to write letters that will take weeks for them to receive and additional weeks for them to write back?! Sometimes, we don't realize how fortunate we are. : )
