View from the Valley

My husband is still gone on the wildfires here in California.  Tomorrow, Saturday, will mark 2 weeks for him being gone.  And although it is great money, when they get paid by the state, I am beginning to feel really alone.  One week before he left we had moved in to a new place and I have been putting it together alone.  I think it really sunk in last night when I went with some friends to the day before the 4th fireworks show here in Napa and I saw all these great fire guys from his department hanging out.  And I just felt like he was missing out.  Then we have spent 4th of July together for 8 years and this year h isn’t here.  Even though I am spending it with my parents I would so love to spend it with him.  Rumor has it he is coming home this weekend but I am not holding my breath on that one.  If he does I am going to be so excited.  Enough about my depressing state, I would also like to say Happy 4th of July all.
