I Know Being A Marine's Girlfriend Has Made Me Stronger

My boyfriend left out for boot camp November 4th and won't be back until February 1st. I know it was sad seeing him leave but I know it'll make our love grow stronger. He told me before I left that I was strong for wanting to be with him even knowing he's going to be gone. I support my marine 100%

I often think about my parents. They married at 19 as WW II was beginning and had a baby 11 months later. The baby died after three days and a few weeks after that my Dad shipped out for England and was gone for three years.

I use that as a challenge to myself - if they could survive that, I can survive this.
