Day 22
The importance of words. Only few can say 3 words mean the most I'm not talking about "I love you" or "I miss you" but simply "I am ok." This phrase is the first thing I look for in any letter I receive. It's what I need to hear in the call. I know he loves me and I know he misses me even more than how I miss him. I don't know if he is ok. The reassurance that he will be back soon is wonderful but knowing that he is currently pushing and staying strong is all I care about. I pray that God gives him my strength and my rest. If it means he is energized in the morning after I have a sleepless night, I won't sleep till he's home. If it means he has the strength to do the tasks they ask him to do while I cry every night I'm not with him, then I'll be crying until he can hold me in his arms. If it means he has the peace to mentally learn all he needs while I over stress myself, then I will take those mental breakdowns every night. If it means we will have a stronger relationship when he gets home, then I will wait and do all of this with a smile on my face. I understand you don't have a connection in the military. Please at the least respect the military, however NEVER INSULT MY SOLDIER!
Day 23
Where to begin? The idea of the return. Those deep blue eyes that make me feel like I am swimming in the ocean. I can't wait to see what he looks like with no hair. I can't wait to feel his soft touch. Or when he gives me a hug that makes the rest of the world disappear. I become completely enclosed by his love. Nothing could stress me or bring me down when I'm in his arms. The idea of having that to look forward to in three weeks. The idea of having sleep knowing he's safe at home. Actually being able to text and call him whenever and for as long as possible. I can not wait to be able to get that first kiss and leap into his arms. I love him so much. I can't wait for him to get home. Even if it is only for two weeks. It'll be
Day 24
My Love,
Today I went to my aunt's for Thanksgiving. It was really weird without you. All my cousins had their boyfriends and I felt very lonely. I was really hoping for a call, but it's ok. I hope that you got my letters today. I know it's been awhile for you. I hope that we can call tomorrow. It would make my day. You'll have to tell me how your Thanksgiving goes tomorrow. I miss you so much, but I am so very proud of you. Stay strong my baby.

Day 25
Happy Thanksgiving my baby! That thirty minute call meant the world to me. I hope that it helps you get through the rest of the week. My letters should be delivered on Monday. I can't wait for you to read them. I'm kinda scared for you to answer that one question I have. I don't want to know about the gas chamber. It's the scariest part to know I can't do anything to help. It sounds like you had a wonderful lunch. I can't wait to see you in 21 days! Only three more weeks and I'll be done with finals and get to see my baby! Im glad you are physically doing better. Please stay strong and don't freak out too much about going to the range. You will be ok. I love you so much. I love you to the moon and back.
Day 26
What is the limit of emotions? Can you ever not sink deeper? Is there ever a point where you can't be happier? What about the urge to want to be with someone? I have felt completely empty before, but never like this. No, this is deeper than empty. This is like withdrawl from half of who you are. Being separated has drawn us closer than ever imagined. I can not wait to see him in twenty days. I love him so much. I will see him soon. That is my only motivation to get through each day. I can look forward to seeing him in the next three weeks. The idea of him in my arms makes my day. Stay strong my soldier. Have courage! I love you with all my heart.
Day 27
To My Soldier
Every moment passes by
I'll get that urge to cry
Then I'll remember that time
When we crossed that line
A simple kiss
No one could miss
The love that's to bloom
In hope that you're my groom
We are left to wait
Until you arrive at the gate
Where we will finally understand
The true love that is in hand
Day 28
The count down begins
With tying loose ends
Excited to see each other
With a feeling of no other
Day in and day out
We're tired no doubt
It will be here before you know
And we will continue to grow
Keep your head held high
And let go of that sigh
I love you
This stays true
