I'm Trying.

I'm trying not to bat an eye at this.
Trying not to lose perspective.
Trying not to feel too sad.
Trying not to be selfish.
I'm trying not to miss you more already.
Trying not to let my heart weigh down.
Trying not to acknowledge.
Trying not to count the days until the next time.

I am supportive.
I understand.
I am proud.
I am actually pretty excited that you have this opportunity to help in such a tangible way.
I wish I had a way to express all this to you without it being so canned.
I look forward to when I can tell you in person.
I'm not going anywhere- I'll be here when you get back.
I want to hear all about it.
I am praying for you.
