Well most folks would think I had a death in the family. I knew this time would come. I just was not ready to separate. Today has been the hardest yet. Sometimes I wonder is it worth it. This job is separating me from the love of my life. It's been hard watching her go off with another man. I sure hopes he takes care of her the way I did. She is awesome. I can hear her voice, that deep growl at the crack of dawn. We wake up the neighbors regularly with all the ruckus in the wee hours of the morn. I'll miss tucking her in and buckling down her covers on cold nights. The way she glowed in the morning sun. I would catch guys staring at her with envy in their eyes as we passed by thinking "where did he find her?" A lot of old guys would just wink with the tip of a hat and I'd know they wish they were young enough to be in my position. I'll be ok, I keep telling myself it's just a few months. Being absent will make the heart grow fonder. I sure hope that's true. All I have is these pictures to remind me of her beauty while I'm gone. Man I'll miss that boat...
