Beth's perspective:

I knew it was the day of the mission, I wasn't supposed to know, but I did.

Thank God for time difference because I was sleeping during the actual time of the mission.

However around 11 am I got a call from his commander.

"Hi uh is this Beth?"

Oh no. "Yes, is Jake ok?"

"Yes, he's alive but his plane got shot so his landing was rough and he broke his leg," the man said.

"Ok, wow, thank you for letting me know, can I go to the hospital?"

He said yes, and sent me the location... they were back in California near my house actually so I drove and got there as fast as I could.

I arrived right after he finished surgery.

They let me in the room and I sat and waited until he woke up.

*a while later*

I was scrolling on my phone when I heard him move.

"Jake?"

Silence.

"Hi Jake, its me. Beth."

Still nothing...

I went next to him and held his hand.

"Hi honey, I know what happened, I don't know if you can hear me but I'm proud of you."

He squeezed my hand a little bit. I started to cry.

He began to open his eyes a bit, "I....."

He closed them again then finally finished his sentence, "love you."

I sighed, "I love you too."
