Goodbye is more of a "see you later"

Today is, unfortunately, the day I head home.  My thoughts are that this won't be for long.  But as of right now, our thoughts are that we will make this work somehow and figure out how to mesh our lives in a more involved way.  When we first started talking about it, we had said we would make this happen "in the next couple years" but we've arrived at the conclusion we don't want to wait that long.  We'll see what happens - I'm not going to hold my breath as of now because the last few years especially have proven to me that anything can happen...and not always in a good way.  But I'm going to say this much... "goodbye" isn't going to be for too long, and I'm trying to think of it more as a "see you later" than anything else.

Sitting on the tarmac waiting for the plane to leave.  It's snowing and we're a bit delayed.  I'm feeling excited to see my daughters at home but I am sad to be leaving him here.  I am confident in our feelings and choices, but I definitely feel like I need some more time with him to really see where this is going.
