Well, let me start off with this is my first blog post, hopefully there will be many more to come, as this will probably be just a short one.
I'll do an intro first: I'm from America, my heart is from Canada, that's a good 2000 miles away. Yes, we met online. I never expected to fall for him, it just sort of happened and I'm glad it did. No we haven't met in person yet, but we will this summer hopefully.
Well, a little about him: He's in the Canadian army, as a matter of fact he had just gotten back from overseas before I started talking with him. As a result of a certain event happening (sorry, I'll be leaving that out) he has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD. He has nightmares quite a lot, and he's kind of on edge if there's a loud unknown noise.
Anywho....let the real story begin:
Well, a few days ago he told me he got accepted into this program in Germany that he'd been waiting for for a year, which of course made me both very proud as well as happy for him. At that point I know he won't have time to text or communicate until the program is over, besides, I'd hate to interrupt this program with a silly text or phone call. Also, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have international calling on his phone which would jack up the bill, and I will NOT be the cause of that. Anywho, the program is two weeks long, so it's going to be a long two weeks. We have been out of contact before, during a four week training escapade. It was hard, but I feel like this is harder for the simple fact that there will be absolutely NO contact between us until he's back, and the fact that everything is going wrong with all these planes on the news makes me worry more. However I'm going to keep myself busy staying with family and friends to keep me occupied, I hope to show him that I'll be okay in the future, were he to ever go overseas. I am wishing him a safe flight and stay, hoping everything goes well.
There, I think I've said everything that's on my mind right now, that was longer than I originally thought I'd be writing. This was refreshing =)
Thanks for reading!

PTSD is a terrible thing to deal with doesn't matter where it came from, I'll admit it, it scares me a little bit. However, that doesn't make me love him any less. I'm happy I'm someone he can come to to talk about that with me. ^-^ Thank you, I hope things go well with you and your SO as well. =)
Atleast I know someone who has an SO with PTSD, This will be helpful I'm sure in the future. ^-^
No not all feel free to read them all if you'd like- that is what they're here for.
PTSD is a horrid thing to deal with no matter what caused it. Thank you- I like to think we have gotten through the worst of it all but you never know.
