Staying Connected

It's only been a couple of weeks (yikes!) but some days I really feel disconnected from CK, through no fault of his own, of course. In fact, he goes out of his way to make sure he tells me everyday how much he appreciates me and how important I am to him. But not being able to hug him, or smell him (is that weird to say??), or cuddle with him leaves me feeling lonely sometimes. I have great friends and family to keep me company, but it's just not the same.

On the days when the loneliness is really palpable, I pour myself into working on one of his care packages. It sounds silly, but putting lots of love and effort into decorating and filling those priority mail boxes comforts me because I know how much he'll enjoy it when it reaches him.

I decided to video the contents of these special packages to give others ideas. Hopefully those in my same position will find new ways to both brighten their Soldiers' days and comfort themselves during those lonely days apart.

Here's a link to this video on YouTube.

Hope you enjoy! I'll share the video for his Easter package as soon as he gets it...I want him to be surprised!!
