The Packs

The sky is a creamy blue behind the snowy mountains, it's beautiful, but it makes my heartache knowing Daniels on the other side. It's been 25 days since the night I lift him at the hotel which seemed to radiate loneliness, from every future soldier that has every rested their homesick heads there. He says in his letters "Be strong for me", well finding strength when everything hurts, isnt easy, but i'm honored to be the woman that is waiting for him to become a protector of this country. I feel like i'm in training too. Training to be an Army wife, learning how to be supportive from 1000's of miles away. Learning to live with the ache in my heart from missing you every second. Praying to God that he'll keep you safe and return you home to me. Knowing that there will be lonely days, which makes the days I spend with you that much sweeter. I smile back at you when I pass by your pictures only wishing that we'd taken more.
