Rangers Lead The Way!

Day 5 since he's deployed

Mon, 04 Feb 2013 02:19:20 -0500

It’s now been 5 days since the love of my life left for Afghanistan. It’s been tough, but I’m lucky to have such great friends who keep me busy. I have been able to talk to him over Facebook at least once a day so far, but only once on the phone. Because we can’t talk about what he’s doing, it’s really hard to have a normal conversation. I hate that I don’t know what he’s up to, what’s he’s going to do, or even what he ate for lunch. I’m grateful that his particular unit only deploys for 4 months, but they also deploy more frequently than regular Army units (every year). I’m scared, nervous and anxious all the time, but I know he is doing what he loves, which brings me peace. I can’t wait for him to come home. I miss him so much, and miss everything about him. If anyone else is in the same situation, has been in the same situation, or will be in the same situation, feel free to reach out to me. I don’t have many friends who really get how I feel, or even know how I feel for that matter. It’s not easy, and I just wish I could fast-forward time. I will see him soon, and it will be so worth all the waiting.
