Fingers crossed

"So cross your fingers baby. I may be home in the next few weeks."

This is the ending sentence of the last letter that I recieved from Duane. It was written on the 25th. In it he tells me that his PT told him that he thinks Duane should come home on con leave for 30 days to rest so that his ribs can heal as he is not getting adequate rest there.

I began to cry when I read that. How should I handle that? I know not to get my hopes up... but at the same time I want him home so much. Even if it's just for a few weeks.

It's so hard to float between the two.

I really hope he comes home.
