News from My Airman

Troy and I have figured out that he is online at work around midnight my time. This is the second night in a row that we have been able to "chat" via sending emails back and forth.

Tonight his email subject was: "If you're still up...I love you." It completely made my night! I miss him so very much. I'm trying very hard to be strong and stalwart in being patient in the knowledge that he is doing something good - he is serving his country. He does it with such selflessness and still has this amazing ability to see the good in all things. His never ending positivity is apparent in this line of his last email:

"There’s a place I can go here that has a lake with reeds of sorts and seagulls by the hundreds. And when you look out on the horizon, it almost feels like you’re at the beach in Destin. And definitely doesn’t feel like Iraq...I love you sweetie. Keep your head up."

Head is up today. Thanks to my sweetheart and his amazing example!
