1 . Like many military wives, I had to stand the long separations until my husband retired. Though I supported his chosen career, I _________ every moment away from him.
To _________ our separations, I wrote letters every day. I made up dozens of small _________ for him which I secretly put into his bag, so that he could_________ them when he was out to sea. To this day those notes are still _________ to us.
_________ in 1996 my husband retired from the Navy. But the only job _________for my husband was six-and-a-half hours away in Norfolk, Virginia.
We spent eight months_________. That was our hardest separation, perhaps because we had _________ planned to be apart again. He__________ to apply for jobs in the area where we hoped to live. We expected we would soon be able to be __________ again.
One day Louie called me with the good __________. He found a job in southwest Virginia. We were excited ! There was only one small__________. Louie would have to live in a camper(露营车),__________ our daughters and I lived in a little house an-hour-and-a-half away. My daughters were __________enough to take care of themselves, so I left them and stayed with Louie.
Louie and I spent a __________ three-and-a-half weeks together. One morning after he left for work, I sat __________ in the camper trying to remember any possession that was as priceless as the __________we stayed together. I couldn’t __________a single thing. Then all of us moved into that camper and lived there for a year. It was pure joy! I’ve learned in that year that the greatest __________ I have is the time I ’ve spent with the ones I love.
