Bittersweet

In case you haven't heard, Steve leaves for his deployment soon. He won't be back until sometime next summer. I am excited for him because he is excited to be going on what he calls "an adventure." I know that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for him and he will ultimately be able to serve his country while deployed.

However, I am also sad that one of my best friends, my roommate, and my boyfriend will be leaving all at once. It is almost like I have to say goodbye to three people, not just one. I know that he will be safe while he is overseas, and I know that he will be coming home in a few (hopefully short) months. But it still makes me sad to see him go.

I will be able to send him things, and we will talk on the phone often, but it's not like having him here with me every day.

So....goodbye sweetheart, stay safe and come home soon.
