Welcome to Gaia! ::

my hubby and i haven't done any letters yet, but whenever he goes to the field i try to write him some type of note, often with our own code
we use the phrase Always and Forever
basically, I love you, Always and forever
which is shortened to A and F, so it goes with a text message and stuff

I'm actually getting a tattoo that says Always and Forever, with Kanji around it, Mother and Wife, though that has to wait til after we have kids

I received my first letters from my boyfriend in the Navy today. At first I was so happy. So happy just to read his words and imagine his voice. But as I read and long after it had sunk in Sadness struck hard. It just feels like all I can do is sit here. And it's bothering me

well i will speak for my wife but i love receiving letters from her while i am away!
as long as it is not no Jodie letter im happy as can be she can write a story on just how she loves me lol.. i also send her cameras and she sends me pics of shat she's doing at home! so its a nice trade plus i get to see my home state while away!.

i try and send a letter out everyday but if i miss one i explain in the next!
and seeing that the military is slow no matter what with mail i only get it like once or twice a week if im lucky.. but hey i get more letters to read all in one sitting razz

anyways moral is it's a great thing to do because it strengthens your relationship i think and helps on building better communication with your loved one and provides security that your alright and doing fine!

Yea in basic during the hour of down time i got i wrote letters home, on fire guard i wrote letters. and in the field i wrote letters. We had a mail bow set up in our bay and the drill sgt took the letters to a real mail box every day but sunday.
