Two years ago today I had to temporarily say goodbye to my best friend and the love of my life. That goodbye was one of the hardest things I have ever done. I was in tears off and on the entire day... When I helped him clean out Clifford the Big Red Dodge it hit me even more that our time together was literally running out.
Pretty soon it was time for him to go get set apart as a Missionary, and it was time for our goodbyes. He drove me back to the hotel where my family was staying and I sobbed the entire way. Next thing I know, Andrew started to cry too. When he parked his truck we just held each other and sobbed. Never have I ever seem him cry like that and it tore my heart. We pretty much gave each other pep talks, and for the first time I heard him say that he didn't want to go, that he couldn't leave me. That snapped me back to reality. I promised him I would be here when he came home and that I would be there for him for his entire mission.
That goodbye was literally painful. My heart ached knowing that Andrew was hurting too and I couldn't make it better since he had been set apart. I am so glad I will never have to go through a goodbye like that again, that in just a week I will get to be with him for the first time in 2 years.
I'm so excited to be with Andrew again, and to have my best friend back.
See you soon Elder Lover Boy!!
This is the journal of my life, the adventures of my life, and the crazy stories of my life. I'm waiting for an LDS Missionary and this is my way of documenting my life for the next 2 years until he returns.
