“Baby I’m coming home to you.”
Fifteen days…fifteen days. It doesn’t seem possible that after six months of awful internet signal, no internet signal, fuzzy Skype dates, and rushed phone calls from 5 digit numbers that it is finally finally almost time. Girls, you all know what it feels like to simply not know. It is absolutely terrifying whether it is your first deployment (like me) or your fifteenth. Some days it is so hard and I know that I became lost for months in a hazy whir of repetitive schedule. But somehow I survived, you survive, we survive. This site has helped me so much because whenever I would lay curled up with a huge body pillow (you all do it too ladies!) missing him so much, I would get on this site to read and know I wasn’t alone. Thank you so much to everyone out there and those who manage this site, I just wanted to give back to what I have been enjoying so much. You are all beautiful, and know if anyone ever needs to talk please know I’m here— and ya’ll are never alone. God bless you all, and I hope your soldiers are safe (mines finally back in the good ole’ U.S.)
P.S. I’m flying in fifteen days (again) as soon as my finals are over! It’ll be the first time I see him, lol I never thought I’d be involved in one of those cheesey airplane scenes but I can’t wait ahh!! :)
Sincerely,
an Army girlfriend who has been there, done that, but didn’t get a t-shirt because of military security ;)
