Away at sea

Gabriel's sail got extended from a day to four. 

So I'll only see him on Friday.

If I could, I would write God-awful complaint letters to the Navy and in my anger, start a television series called Navy Wives where all we do all day is sit around and tear up photos of anchors and mass smash ship-in-a-bottles too.

I ranted that the Navy better not do this when we have babies if not the babies will be like 'where's Daddy?' and I'll be like 'where's my bigger baby?' and the whole family will end up distraught on the floor for until he comes back to pacify all 3 of us (me, Constantine and Artemis).

I asked him what would he do if I was crying in one room and the babies were crying in another.

G: I would carry the baby and put them on you
N: Why? But I am crying
G: Yes, then I can ask all of you what's wrong
N: How?
G: I will ask 'awww what's wrong, my babies?'

Do you see why I love this man?

A lot of times, I rush to Gabriel's bed when we reach home and just lay there and start to cry till he rushes over to comfort me. I say it's baby-training for our babies, but I actually just really like the cuddling and cooing.

Other times, I like to keep going 'aww nu nu nu nu nu shhhh' when he excitedly talks about something. He would keep trying to finish the story and I would keep interrupting, stroking his head like a child and going 'aww nu nu nu so kute shhh' and he'd purse his lips annoyed hahah.

In the end, he managed to come out for a bit and I rushed to him and very stubbornly clung onto him the whole night, refusing to let him go smoke or dota, He adoringly told me about how his new Korean show makes him miss me intensely.

I demanded he spoon me to sleep and he did, for a grand total of two minutes, afterwhich he declared, 'ok cannot already, your hair is everywhere, inside my nose' and turned away from me :(

So I held his hand to sleep.

What am I going to do without you? When you go on your 3-month sail? Today is a 3-day sail and I'm already behaving like my world is going to collapse. How am I to hold through?
