Well It's Time Guys. . .

[Thumbs18]

Well one more day. . .I'm doing ok I guess. . .I honestly feel a little bit numb. . .I don't know how to explain it. . .I just feel no pain, no sadness, nothing. He's picking me up at 12 to go to the lake and swim. I've been listening to the song Dreaming about you by Selena all day (well since I woke Up). people are calling in requests on radio stations for his unit. . .like every 5 seconds a new request is made. Most of them are patriotic songs some are "couples songs". I'm going to request I Melt and Courtesy of The Red, white, and Blue.

I'm with him right now. . .I will b until 11 tonight when he brings me home from his house. He leaves at 11 tomorrow morning. We are leaving shortly to go get the things he needs 2 take with him (toothbrush, hairbrush, etc.). I'm really sad and I'm scared 4 him. . .Part of me doesn't think he is ready for this. . .maybe part of me HOPES he isn't ready for this (and yeah I know that sounds bad). I don't want him to feel any pain and I know when he comes back he won't be completely the same. I just don't wanna hafta let him go. . .he doesn't wana let me go either. . .but we know we have to. . .we will be back together but it still hurts. . .a bunch. . .

My English teacher's husband just deployed for Afganistan today. He'll be there for 2 months. My teacher's sad. They don't have kids yet, so it's just her. (She's quite young, only 26) She's scared, but she's sure he'll be fine. He's in the air force or something like that. Actually, just a couple months ago, he got back from Iraq!

Even though today was my last day with Mrs. Dwyer, I'll keep her in my thoughts!

He's gone guys. He left this morning at 11 am with his specialist. . .It was so hard. . .I cried b4 I even saw him. I don't think that it actually set in for me that it was time for him to go until he handed me his cell phone. I had to kinda laugh because as he was getting into the van he looked at his mom and dad and me and my mom (Ma to him) and said take care of my baby and my car. It was kinda funny bc he didn't really say anything 2 his parents and he didn't say much to me. . .he just kinda looked at me and any time he hugged me it was just real quick. My dad told him that he should make leaving quick so it wouldn't be as painful (it didn't help). I feel so bad bc I was crying so hard when he left that I didn't even get to tell him that I love him. He wrote him a 3page letter and put our prom pic in it. One of my friends saw him at a stoplight after he left and he held up the picture and the letter and she txtd me saying that you could see the tears running down his face. He wasn't crying when he left. I have been crying all day long. He is supposed to call me b4 he goes to bed tonight and he flies out 2moro morning at 4 am (he plans on waking me up. . .o Boy). I'm getting better but I'm still hurting. . .I felt completely numb this morning when I woke up and I still kinda do. I cried last night when he said he had to leave. I had an anxiety attack and ended up getting sick. But he waited here until I was ok then when I walked outside with him he just held me and kissed my head and told me he loved me and that he would be coming back for me. . .I think it was harder to let go of him last night bc i had been with him all day than it was when I actually had to watch him leave today. He looked back at me today. . .and he blew me a kiss. . .I just let loose. I love him so very much and it killed me to let him go. But now I start the count down until he comes home to me. He gave me a list that he would like for me to complete b4 he comes home. He asked me 2 start looking for us an apartment and learn 2 cook (i burn water) So I have something to do this summer. Thanx 4 the support guys

i am seriously crying right now.
this must be SO hard for you!!
and it won't get much easier (after 8 months of school i was still the same wreck as i was the first day he left)

the only advice i can give you is just to occupy yourself with your best girlfriends, they'll be there for you no matter what, and they'll let you cry whenever you need to.
and you can work on the list that he gave you (HOW CUTE!!)

i know you'll be thinking about him every minute of every day, and it's going to be strange and probably scary to think about what he's doing all the time.
but try to stay strong. you know that you guys love each other and you'll be together forevvverrrr (hugs x a million!!!)

if you ever get lonely or need someone to talk to, my pm box is open to you!!!

He just called me . I tried so hard not to cry (I succeeded!!!!!) When I saw the number on my phone my heart skipped a beat . I answered the phone and the first thing he said was "hey baby how are you doing?" I was ecstatic! He told me that he missed me from the minute he got in the van and he thought about me all the way up there (well more like dreamed bc he fell asleep ). He met a guy that has already been through basic and he told him that it's easier than he thinks. To top it all off he found out that he COULD have his cell phone (for the record I had TOLD him that he could and he didn't believe me! ) I think hearing him say "I love you" made my day a little better. He is supposed to call me tonight before he goes to bed. His brothers gf came out to check on me tonight. I about started crying then too. I guess I still feel vulnerable bc my protector isn't here anymore. . .but I know I will be ok. I already have a countdown going on a HUGE dryerase board on my fridge until I go to his graduation. ONLY 58 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still feel like crying. . .I probably will end up crying again tonight. When I start crying I look down at his class ring that is resting happily on my left ring finger. . .it was his promise to me that he is coming back to me. He said on the phone that he has this in the bag and that he can't wait to come home to marry me. I'm so excited that I got to talk to him but I'm kinda sad bc the call was so short. I'm just glad that I got to hear his voice. I will keep you guys updated.

I don't know how girls with military boyfriends/husbands can stand it. My boyfriend was in Pennsylvania for a month when his grandfather died, and I hated it. We have been together for almost a year and a half, and the hardest part is having to wonder how much longer we will last. He is moving to Pennsylvania for college in September (only a few days after my 18th birthday!) He'll be 900 miles away from me in Florida, and I will get to see him maybe once every 6 months to a year for the next four years, and that's only if he doesn't get a permanent job after college that will keep him from me longer. It's going to be hard. I hope we can make it through, but I know that all the girls he dated before he moved to FL and we met live in PA, and a few of them would love to have him back. Sorry to turn things all towards me. Just wanted to say I know how you feel with your boyfriend leaving, although the most dangerous thing mine will be doing is smoking, which he seriously needs to quit. Meanwhile yours will be trying to save what's left of this broken country, and for that, I thanks him and all of our soldiers. Good luck to both of you! PM me any time, or if you want I can send you my normal email or AIM name.

My prayers go out to you and him. May he return safely

 

[imabrat]

Prayers for you and him and all you love. Please let him know I say Thank you, for braving your life for my rights.
He is an inspiring and brave young man, you sure did pick a winner!

And if he's ever feeling down for some reason, tell him you've got a friend who finds men in uniform incredibly sexy. (not only looks but brave sexy too, does that make sense? like a man is so brave it's sexy)

 

[Thumbs18]

lol yeah it makes total sense. I'm going back down now bc I haven't heard from him again but I get a wake up call at 3:30 2moro morning (o goody). I am ready for him 2 b home with me already! i miss him sooooooooooooooooo much already and he hasn't even bn away from me for 24 hours yet! See my bff went through this last year when her bf went to Ft. Jackson for basic training so I am leaning her quite a bit and I'm leaning on my "sis-in-law" a lot too. My mom has also been through this so I have a lot of support no matter who I turn to.

 

[Thumbs18]

He called me at 3:30 this morning and now he has arrived at Ft. Jackson. Part of me is excited bc now I know that he is on his way home but oart if me is still really sad bc he isn't home yet. As long as i stay busy it doesn't seem like he is really gone.

 

[Thumbs18]

Well here we go it's his 3rd day being gone and I'm getting better but last night when I talked to his mother and she confirmed pne of my fears: we had our wedding date set for spring of 2009 and my bf was very insistent on moving it until 2010. . .due to a possibility of deployment to Afganistan (sp?) this December. My grandpa said that they use reserves more than the National Guard so he doesn't think that my bf will be sent. His mom and I talked about all the funny things he did and it made us feel a lot better. Only 56 days left until I get ti see him in SC. . .Wish me luck with the depolyment!
