Long Distance Relationship
Being apart from the one you love for long periods of time gets really tough. Being in a military relationship is an emotional and patriotic combination of sacrifice and reward. For all the time spent apart, the mind-racing anxieties, the minimal access to communication and the constant countdown to reunion, there are still the corresponding rewards that make it all worthwhile.
I know that in the Army, no news is good news. I have learned the importance of communication and how to maintain a strong connection through hand-written letters.
By investing time and energy into such a challenging situation, I have come out the other side with a newly earned title. I am an Army Girlfriend. I serve alongside my man by staying strong and carrying on. I do things on my own, for myself, with no one’s help. Are all the difficulties of a military relationship worth it, you ask? I say, if it’s the right person, then you would do whatever it takes.
His trials, tribulations, challenges and sacrifices inspire me every day to be a better person and a more confidant woman. I am happy that I met Allen and he change me for better and appreciate life even better.
