My hero... wears combat boots

I'm in a weird mood tonight.

I couldn't think of anything to take a picture of because only one thing is on my mind.

...yeah, it's you.

Everywhere I look I see something that reminds me of you. I'll walk by something and remember some of our silly adventures. I hear certain words that bring back great memories from when you were home. I have a confession. I too see those uniforms where ever I go now. It's something I never really paid close attention to, until you put one on. Now, I have to force down the urge to run up to a total stranger and ask them about their career, their experiences, their life story. That happened again today, while I was working. Then, seeing an incredible and inspirational blip from a dear friend of mine who knows exactly how this feels. I know I'm not alone in this, but it's hard not to feel isolated in a place where not many comprehend or relate to how this feels. I want to be where you are... I know I can be soon, but sometimes (on those hard days), your hugs are my only cure. My only escape from this daily grind. You're doing well, and I couldn't be more excited for you, or more proud of you for excelling so much! No matter the distance, I'm still here, waiting and being your biggest cheerleader. <3

I miss you.
