So, for the first time in a _very_ long time, I am spending at least part of V-day with someone. And not just someone, but someone who can look me in the eyes, even knowing everything I have done, and still love me. She handles my crazy very well, rubs my back when I am having nightmares, and is willing to accept that I will quite possibly be leaving her soon to go back into battle.
I have no idea what I have done to deserve her love. But I will celebrate every single day that she chooses to spend with me. Being wth her makes me want to be a better human being, and it has been years since I have had that feeling. It's a little scary sometimes. But I truly love her with all my heart.
One year ago today, I was 12.5 time zones away from home. I have no idea what exactly I was doing, because February 14th was just one of many identical days. This evening, I am taking my girl friend to the beach to go sit around a camp fire. Just the two of us, out at the beach. With no expectations, no time constraints, and no stress. I can hardly wait!
