Missing You Even More Than Usual

My Dear SR,
    I'm missing you a whole lot right now.   I always miss you, but most of the time it's a dull ache and just every once in awhile the thought will pass through my head...."God, I wish he were here."  But, I'm sitting here on my couch with M. Dog, watching a movie that I know you would love and I wish with every fiber in my being that you were here too.  It's called Rounders and it has Matt Damon as the goody two-shoes (at least so far) and Ed Norton as the weasel who is going to corrupt him.  Loving it....and wishing you were here to share it with me.
    I got a letter from you yesterday and, of course, immediately wrote you back.  I try not to write too often because I know that you might start to feel smothered and that's the last thing I would want to make you feel. The day I get your letter is my favorite day of the week!  I leave work 5 minutes early just so I can read your letter that much sooner.  I carry around my phone everywhere like some kind of smartphone/crack addict...but really the only reason I can't leave it on my desk at work for 2 minutes is because I know you might call at any second.  And even though we only get to talk for 5 minutes or so, it's the greatest 5 minutes of my day because I get to hear your voice.

     I don't write these things in my letters to you because I don't want you to worry about me.  I'm OK.  I know you are doing something that will lead you to a career that you will love, and I can't express how proud I am of you.  Every person I talk to, I want to tell them I'm a proud Navy girlfriend and my boyfriend will soon be a Sailor in the greatest Navy in the world.   I am so proud of you and I can't wait to hear that you've made that call to your Mother and that you are really, truly a Sailor.
     I love you so much and I am so so proud of you.
             
Love,
      Your Girl
