I am a 27 yr old female, I have two children 3 1/2 yrs old and 6 yrs old. I am dating a 33 yr old Puerto Rican Sgt whom is in the US ARMY and is deployin in a few weeks to Iraq for a whole yr. I love him to pieces and no one will ever be able to take that away from me! He is my one and only HERO!!! It will be a long and hard deployment but I know I can get through it as I have gone through one deployment already. We may not be married but he means a lot to me regardless. I still have to say my good-byes for a whole year and he has to see my tears. But that wont stop the feelings I have for him. We may have or days and nights..that we just dont agree on the same thing...but as long as we can and do talk our difference out...everything will be ok. I just need to have patience in him..with him going overseas and about to see and and avoid things that not everyone see on a regular day basis. I have a hard time having patience, but if I love him the way I do..I need to be there for him regardless. I love my soldier with all my heart and no one will take that away from me! I Love and miss you like crazy Luis!!! Nicole is the only one that's been there for me through thick and thin..regardless of the fights or arguements we've had in the past..I've always been there for her..and now she's here for me...again... I apperciate you watchin my kids for me..and I apperciate the friendship I can have with u! Thank you so much girl!!! I love ya like a sister I never had!
