    i know it's hard, but she's right, it only gets harder. but your love will grow SO strongly because of it, don't give up, okay? i promise it'll all be worth it. that first kiss after months of not seeing each other, the letters, the phone calls. it'll just make your love so high you'll be completely infatuated and so devoted to each other and it'll definitely, definitely be worth it. keep your chin up!

    Well I'm sorry to say this, but it's going to get harder. Being in a military relationship, you dinfinetly have to make sure you can handle it because you will go days and weeks on end without talking to each other. You won't know if he's okay or not. It's hard. Very hard. But it's so worth it. This consists of a lot of long distance unless you two do get married and you can move with him. Good luck sweetie and remember this is worth it. Being with a military man is the hardest but the best thing in my life. They never stop amazing you and making you so proud. So stick in there okay.
