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.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
