O/T My 21st

emma_louise, 21 June, 2008 at 23:33 Posted on Planning 0 11

Is my 21st on Friday and am just feeling a little bit down about it really. Am just finding it hard because the one person I want to be there cant. I know he cant help being away, just its hard enough not having him here let alone missing a special day.

No point to this to be honest, just wanted to get it off my chest

    I wondered if that was where he was, that must be horrible for you. I expect he is missing you too. You will have to make sure you have a special 21st celebration with him when he gets home. When will that be - any idea?

    I find it really hard. Is a big thing for anyone but I just feel like its double the strain for me running a home and everything else when Im still young. Im really proud of him, just gets to me sometimes being by myself and stuff.

    He is back July the 13th which I know isnt long to go now. Just wished me was here for my special day.

    Aw big hugs hon, i know what its like being apart for a while - certainly made me appreciate the time we had together.

    It is tough but if you can, email, phone or webcam on your birthday and then go out an enjoy yourself.

    i wish i could go and celebrate my 21st again - i'm 27 now! i'm sure your friends/family will help you party.

    When does he get back? maybe organise a belated birthday party just for the 2 of you? champagne, weekend break away?

    it is hard running a house on your own - i did it with the baby when H2B was working down south before we joined him and its a slipperly slope to a very dark place so keep yourself busy and there will always be hugs on here if you're not feeling too good.

    Ixx xox

    I know my mum and his mum have planned a supprise party for me on the Saturday. Is fancy dress apparently so I will make sure I get you all some pictures.

    I got upset the other day to him on the phone and he told me that he has planned for him to cook us a candal lit dinner, with music, roses and champagne and then dance to slow music together. It sounds perfect, just wish it was sooner.

    Thank you for your replies ladies, is nice to be able to speak to someone.

    Your H2B sounds wonderful, planning a surprize like that. And it sounds as though you have great family too who will understand the situation and do everything you can to help you enjoy your special day.

    You must be so very proud of your H2B - we all are of our folks serving and representing our country - he'l be home before you know it x

    Big hugs to you, I hope you have a fab day anyway! I know it won't make you miss him any less but just remember, you've got a life time of birthdays to spend together ahead of you! Do you get to keep hold of him after July or is he off again?

    Hugs!

    Morning ladies. Ive only just woken up and that was only because the phone was ringing!

    He has 2 weeks leave when he gets back so I have booked the second week off. Not because I dont want to be with him but just because after being with people 24/7 I thought he might like a bit of time to himself and to just relax. After that then he will be going back down to Collingwood navy base at Portsmouth where he will work during the week then be home for weekends. The ship is going away again this year but he is looking into doing Christmas duties. So instead of going away with the ship for 7 weeks he will either have to work Christmas day or New Years day. Dont know what I think about this really because Christmas day is always special because thats when we got engaged. But then its only another day where as it would be 7 weeks without seeing him. Have said I will support whatever decission he makes.

    The family I have around are great and have tried to keep me occupied. Just gets to me a little at family bbq's and stuff when he isnt there. But its 21 days today and he will be home.
