My fiance just called me from Iraq, but my stupid phone didn't connect us, so all I got was a message. Still, I have been extremely worried about him, as numerous convoys in his area have been attacked.
His call was probably the best birthday present I could ever have.
I miss him so much, it just amazes me some days that I can function. It feels as though a large part of my heart is missing, and some times I find myself dreaming about him, then waking and wondering where he has got to.
Even though times are hard now, and I haven't seen him for over a year, my love for him is still as strong, if not stronger, than when I first realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I will wait for him for however long it takes.
And I know that he will be there for me.
I just wish that the day would come when I can see him again, when I can hold him in my arms and know that he is truly safe.
But as my best friend Adam told me, each day apart is but a day closer to us being together again. I just have to keep reminding myself of that.
Thank you, sweety, for my birthday present. When I turn 26 tomorrow, it will be with the knowledge that you are safe, and thinking of me, and that I am more loved than I ever thought possible.

Thought I would wish you a happy birthday while the thought was in my head!! Tomorrow is a long day for me (from 9 to 5--I know it would be a short day for you, but I'm a student). :-) I hope you have a wonderful birthday and that your day is easy and relaxing! I also hope that your dreams are lovely tonight and tomorrow night!!

That's beautiful

"Each day apart is but a day closer to us being together again"

I need to remember that.

If I don't get on line tomorrow, Happy Birthday :-D

You have a 1-19 Birthday? Wicked! That's my mom's also!

Of course, she's got 24 years on ya... ;)

Does you phone take calls just sometimes? I hadn't called because you had said something about it dying...

That's cool! Your mom and I share the same birthday!
My phone is a royal pain in the ass. It will say that it is getting reception, but the moment I try to call, or someone tries to call me, it will disconnect. It never used to do this. Arrrrgghh. I will try and call you this weekend. If I can't use my phone, I'll borrow a friend's.
