I Need Someone to Talk to

I just said goodbye to my soldier. I can barely breathe, I don't have an appetite, and every time I close my eyes, I see him sitting here smiling at me, rubbing my back while I lay across him.

I wake up and notice he's no longer here and this is the end. I'm terrified and begin to panic because this is reality; it's really happening; it happened. I can't stop crying, my body is sore, weak, and I'm growing nauseous.
He's being permanently relocated almost 3,000 miles away, then deployed. I can't hold myself up and I'm falling to pieces.

When he told me the news, I was in shock. Seeing his eyes water and his facial ex<x>pression resemble sorrow just broke me. I listen to this song and revisit our most pleasant moments...even those that never had a chance to occur.

Keep telling myself that when I look back at this in the next year or so, it won't hurt as bad. I'll finally smile and know that everything happens for a reason.

I'll never let you go. I'll always support you, wherever you are. This isn't goodbye...it's see you soon remember.

We'll never see each other again.

Being in love with a soldier must be hard. I could only imagine how you feel. Yet, he is doing something which has a lot of worth. He has dedicated himself to preserve the country and our freedom. He is admirable in that respect. An extraordinary person, who values the rights and freedoms we all take for grantit. But he doesn't and now he is showing are whole country this. I can imagine that great fear of never seeing him again. But it is not set in stone that this will happen. I also admire the fact that you love a soldier. To love a soldier is hard. Whatever happens, that makes you just as unique and admirable as him, also.

We Soldiers and Veterans are a family. We are always with listening ears and open hearts while our bodies are sponges taking all the physical pain. If you need to speak to someone who understands, those who are good and aren't trying to steal other's girlfriends or wives are here to talk on open forums to keep this secure there is no hidden evil. That to any Soldier is a huge deal. I was active duty from 2003-2013 and spent 6 years (non consecutive 3 Iraq and 3 Afghanistan) fighting. You ever need a lending ear with words of comfort, just say the word.

As a former soldier I would like to thank you for supporting your soldier in their assignment and not causing them more stress. I would also like to give you some advice to help both them and you, show them strength while they are away so they have little worry over you so they can keep their head about then over there and come back to you with little change about them
