I woke up at 4:30 AM to go to the bathroom. Had the same 10 seconds of freedom before it hit. I laid back down and waited for Colonel to walk from the foot of the bed to our pillows (He ALWAYS knew when it was close for everyone to get up. ALWAYS) SOMEHOW, I dosed back off. But at 5:15, I woke up again and it hit me hard. Almost to the point of a feeling of anxiety. I looked over and my Wife was not in bed. She was in the Den, on the couch, holding back tears. We BOTH lost it for a minute or two. HAD to be done because we are.....ok....for now.
