Chatting with my daddy (who is deployed)

  • Me: I have my first appointment to go look at a wedding venue tomorrow. There is so much to ask. I don't know what to ask, what to look for, or what prices to stay away from.
  • Daddy: It's a lot of money anywhere you look at. I just want you to be happy with the place you picked. I sent you an email with some questions to ask. Don't worry too much about it. You're my one and only babygirl and you're getting married.
  • Me: I wish you were here to go with me, dad.
  • Daddy: Me too, babygirl.

Did you know,

Military members who get deployed can often be seen wearing a backwards flag on their uniform.

Why?

Because soldiers used to march into battle following a flag. Someone would march ahead of them waving the flag of our country, and to the soldiers marching forward, the flag was backwards.

Today, the backwards flag on a soldier’s uniform symbolizes bravery. It’s a symbol that means ”I will always march forward. I will never retreat.”

Of course I will get lonely when you get deployed.

But I will long for your body.
I will long for your touch.
I will long for your lips.
I will long for your eyes.

I will get lonely when you’re away, but you are the only human whom I will crave.
