An open letter to...

The boy who joined the military.

Hello. How are you?

This letter is for you, the boy who joined the military. There's not much to say, because everything basically has already been said.

Some things that have not been said are...

Just know when you're gone I'm going to miss you.

I will miss time being spent together, laughs, smiles, hugs, kisses, and just you.

I will be waiting.

Though you will be gone for some time, I will be here waiting and then counting down the days till you're home.

I am going to keep in touch.

Between letters, pictures, and care packages--you will hear from me as much as possible.

I support you.

Though this isn't my ideal thing for you, I know it's what's in your best interest. This will help you with your future and goals. Not only will you have my support but the army will support you through life.

You're my best friend

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do on my free time while you're gone.

And most important...

I love you. And good luck.
