I have an incredible boyfriend who is the most amazing man I have ever met in my life (besides my dad). His name is Jeff, and he is in the Air Force. We have been together for over a year and a half and I have loved every second of it... Well, almost every second.... Jeff deployed to Afghanistan back in March and will be there until November. This is one of the toughest things I have had to do. We communicate as often as we can, but it ends up being once or twice a week, if that. It is SO HARD not being able to have the person who I am used to talking to and confiding in everyday near. The situation with him being in Afghanistan is not ideal at all.... then again, who is it really ideal for?? But I now know firsthand how hard it is to be away from your loved ones. I pray everyday for the AWESOME people who serve our country and especially the people who are overseas as well as their families and loved ones.
Jeff makes me SO PROUD!!! With all of the bad going on overseas, I can honestly say I haven't heard a negative comment come from him since he has been there. I know it is hot, stressful, and they don't get a lot of sleep, but he has such a positive attitude and always looks at the bright side of things. I hope I can have the attitude that he portrays. Everyone should be extremely proud of our military because they do an exceptional job!
