"Goodbye. Be strong for me. I love you."
The last words out of his mouth and the click of our skype call ending.
Only three more months until I can see him again.
Three months too long.
Three months too long without my boyfriend with me.
Every day, I had my doubts that he would be coming home alive. I was scared shitless whenever he was seconds late to our nightly skype date. My boyfriend was halfway across the world, without me, in a life threatening situation, and I was absolutly terrified.
