My husband has been out of basic for over a month now and I haven’t seen him once. It’s honestly a living hell for me personally. We got married on October 9th and he left for his first duty station on the 10th. After we were married we had about 7 hours to be with one another before i had to have him back on base and only 10 minutes together the next day before they put him on a bus to take him even further away from me.
So far they’ve told us multiple different things about when i’ll finally be able to move with him, about two weeks ago I was told he’d get me in a week or two and as the time passed it became a month to two months. It’s been over a month since i last held him or kissed him. It’s been 5 months since i last got to fall asleep listening to his heartbeat. There’s a lot of waiting when it comes to the military. I knew that going into this life with him, but i didn’t realize how difficult it’d be.
Missing him has became a normal thing for me. Every second of the day is filled with me wishing he was back in my arms again and not thousands of miles away. I live for the face time calls and the phone calls I get when he’s not busy. He seems to enjoy being away from home and loving being at his duty station, which i’m glad for. I’m glad he’s happy and enjoying his time there, it’s just difficult for me to be so far away from him.
It’s not the life I would’ve chosen for myself honestly, but it’s the life that comes with loving a hero.
