"Be strong for me"...he said it the morning he left. And it replays in my mind over and over. He also says "I'll be home to you as soon as I can" when he can tell I'm a bit bummed or overwhelmed. He has also been stationed in Germany for a long time and when we started talking he called me "schatzi" which is like "honey" in German. The Sunday before his R&R was up we were in church and he wrote "ich liebe dich mein schatzi" (I love you my honey/baby whichever) on a piece of paper.It was so hard not to burst into tears in the middle of the sermon ! lol but that moment replays in my head alot too. I taped the little paper he wrote it on to a little keychain flashlight on my set of keys. That is something I always look at or remember him saying as well which helps cheer me up too.

Aww! I love it! For some reason, I find expressing love in languages other than your natural one very sweet. Through BCT Patrick was being taught some Spanish by somebody in his BN. That means a lot to me because I'm Cuban (first generation from both sides to be born in America).
Growing up my grandmothers always talked to me sweetly in Spanish. I call him 'mijo' (It's short for "mi ijo" which means "my son", but when it's comes from a girl that isn't his mother, it means honey/sweetheart). He calls me "mi amor" which means "my love".
Anyway, sorry for the random tangent.

No I love it ! That is so sweet ! I agree that there's something really sweet and romantic about stepping out of the norm and finding new or creative ways to express your love. And I love other languages !! That's one perk of him having been there is he will randomly say a word in German or reply with an easy sentence in German. It's fun to learn and it's very similar to English sometimes so when I don't know we laugh at my guesses lol Spanish is a BEAUTIFUL language. I want to learn it someday. I can read it and understand it when spoken but I don't speak it very well but my daughter is half spanish and her fathers family speak it to her and I'm like "I want to learn too ! " lol ...speaking of tangents =X hehe

Hahaa! That's how I figured out what you said your hubby wrote before I read the translation. I was sitting here going "Alrigh... I know 'Iich liebe' means I love you, and she just said 'schatzi' is honey"
It feels like you're solving a math problem when you're trying to translate it on your own. lol

Lol it is like a math problem ! Luckily he types it now and doesn't speak it so I can look at the word and think "ok...a couple of these he's said before I just have to remember what they mean...and then figure out what the rest of this means"  it's a word puzzle every time lol

Don't know if this counts, but when we are on the phone, or on skype, we say Besito (Kiss) then we blow a kiss, and hang up. We even do it when he calls to wake me up to get on Skype, I get on Skype, and we are still on the phone, blowing kisses, then hang up, but still on Skype. haha.

Patrick will randomly bring up marriage and to me It means so much but Im not going to get my hopes up until I have a ring on my finger but one night after we got in a fight he said: " I love you more. Jessica you truly are the person I am supposed to spend the rest of my life with don't ever forget that and don't let me forget that" and my heart sunk. I really can't wait to spend the rest of my life with this man <3

This probably isn't the same thing, but Tommy always freaking says "It's all good" and so anytime I hear that or think that, I think of him.
