When he reached home, Rebecca did not want to waste another minute to tell him her reasons for acting so weird lately. For anyone, it would be wise to speak about it as soon as possible. “But then I thought about it for a few minutes and I was like, ‘You know, this isn’t how I want to tell him – in an email,'” she revealed as she explained that thoughts that ran through her head during that time.

“I emailed him back and said, ‘I just miss your voice,” she said when asked about what she wrote to him. But then again, that was not going to wear off all of his worries and misunderstandings. But then the ship that Matt was posted on had to go head-to-head with one of the world’s most powerful nations. It was a sad fact for Rebecca as her plan was crumbling right in front of her.

The Moment of Truth

It was finally time for Matt to come home. He was among the many sailors who came home in San Diego. Rebecca had devised a master plan to reveal what she had been keeping from Matt all this time. But if something was to go wrong, it would turn into total chaos. She made use of her kids to distract him and also by holding a “Welcome Home” sign, to keep him from knowing.

“My heart was racing,” Rebecca explains when it was time for her to let the cat out of the bag. She then proceeds to explain what actually went down during the big reveal. “I stood back and let the kids run to him. I hung back for a minute, and then he reached into me to give me a hug and then I dropped it. He just stood there in shock. He didn’t know what was going on.”
