He left for Japan this morning. Sad and exhausted
Hey all.
I've mentioned a few times before that my SO is in the air force. Well he just left this morning for his first assignment in Japan. This was also he first ever trip via plane so it's been a big day. He's doing great, got to all his connecting flights fine, he's now on the last plane. It's a 12 hour flight, and I hate that we don't get to talk. But I guess maybe that will allow me to gather my thoughts.
He got to spend two weeks here at home and it was wonderful. It was so nice to have life back to the way it used to be, even just for a moment. But I miss him so much now, it hurts so bad. I forgot how hard this is. I know the first day is the hardest so I'm trying hard to stay positive. We've got lots to look forward to be thankful for, like our big day in May, and him living his dream of seeing the world and just being able to spend time with him for two weeks. I'm getting my Bachelors degree next fall, and then I can finally move with him to Japan. So while everything seems far away now, it's really not so bad.
How do y'all get through the first few days? We won't know if he'll have internet in temp housing until he actually gets there. What do you do to stay sane through these kinds of unknowns? We have dealt with an equal amount of distance between us in the past but it's been years. It feels so new.
