I Miss My Soldier In Afghanistan

Missing My Soldier In Afghanistan

Well it has been just over 6 months that my boyfriend has been in Afghanistan. I love and miss him so much. There are times where I find myself just starting to cry and I don't know why, later I realise it is because I am missing him.  At the moment I feel at a loss of words because I feel like I am about to cry. I just feel so alone sometimes... well more like all of the time. Back where he had deployed out of there was a support group and I had the ladies number and e-mail I had both called her once... but something on the number was srong I think. I have e-mailed with no reply and it is just really hard to find support being 15 hours away from where the support group is. I know a couple people who have brothers and sisters who are deployed but it is not that same as having a boyfriend or husband gone. I just wish I had some people to talk to. My outlet has always been typing in a journal. And the journal I had that was about 132 pages is gone because my cousin stepped on my other computer and it is all gone...that hasmade things so much harder... I just.. I miss him so much.

    i think you are amazing! my boyfriend is going out it may for a 4 month tour and im already finding myself crying just thinking about it, its such a horrible prospect to face and to have lasted 6 months already you are so brave. I admire you so much and hope you get all the well deserved days when he comes home.

    Ik how u feel hun, im over 6 months too. It hard, especially with the holidays coming up. You just want to spend them with him. BUt we'll get through this, we've made it this far, n its not that much longer. Just when u feel like crying cry, let it all out then put ur chin up and try not to think about it as much as u can. try to stay busy, n know that u do have support, n yes its on the internet but honeslty i have met at least 1 amazing girl on here that i text daily. It'll get better trust me.
