I miss my best friend
My partner has been deployed for the last few months. We’ve been through another deployment together but this one feels so much harder. The last one we knew he was leaving for a while before he did and had a better idea of how long he would be gone. This one was a surprise and we have no idea when he’ll be back.
Part of me enjoys my free time I have to hang out with my friends more and do things I wouldn’t normally do when he’s home but in between those moments I’m just so heartbroken that he’s not here. He truly is my best friend and it’s hard without him. Every day feels more lonely. There’s so many small things I want to tell him about my day or jokes I want to make but he’s not around.
Shoutout to all the SOs in here, especially those who have done this so many more times than me. It is truly not for the weak!
