The Packs

9 weeks or so will go by before I hear Daniel's voice again. Tonight is his first time in Basic Training and I wonder what he's doing right now. I know it's late there and I hope that he's sleeping well after a long day of traveling. I can't help but feel like he's needing me right now as much as I'm needing him. I'm lying here and I feel so broken, this apartment is empty and cold without him. My dreams are scattered, I wake up searching for him only to remember that he's gone. I think the hardest part for me will be not knowing what he's going through, or knowing what he's thinking, or feeling. I want to be there to keep him standing when he wants to fall. We have said so many goodbye's each one gets more painful than the last. The only thing that makes me smile is Knowing that I will see him at his graduation. Stay strong baby!
