Isn't She Lucky?

I decided to start this blog to just record my thoughts throughout C's first deployment. This is "my" first deployment as well. It's been about two weeks since the last time I've seen him and it feels like it's been two months.

I have to admit, that the beginning is really hard, although I have no idea what it's going to be like as time passes. Hopefully, it will get easier and I will get used to all the random tears, the sadness that overcomes me when my friends or sister enjoy their time with their boyfriends, the loneliness that I feel as I watch a movie at night and wish he was here with me. Yet, I can't help but feel like I'm the lucky one that will experience an overflowing amount of joy when my time comes to be with him again. I can't wait until I get his address so that the real fun of the deployment can begin.

If anything, I'm lucky to be offered this experience, which without him, I would've never been offered. I'm lucky to have someone to miss thousands of miles away from me, and to have someone missing me in a place, which without him, I probably would've never even think of unless I hear about it on the news. I'm lucky that I receive emails and handwritten letters, something that has died out a long time ago when technology took over everyone's minds. I'm lucky that I can experience meeting a loved one for a second first time with that next first kiss.

Yes, I'll have to say, military SO's are the lucky ones.
