Waiting For Today...

Today.
Today.
Today.
Today.

 I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

Since I found out about it about 4 months ago.
I'm going to miss him so much.
Today.

Today is the day a really close and great friend of mine leaves....well, actually he already left....for the military.
He told me in the beginning of the fall that he was enlisted in the Navy. And he was leaving in February. At that time, it seemed so long off. Now, here it is. Already.

That day in fall when he told me, that was the day we first met. We were at a friend's house and him and I met. He, even so long before it happened, was so excited!
We became friends that night and have gotten so much closer since then. At one point he told me I knew more about him and his past than any of his other friends, some he had known his entire life. If that doesn't say how close we became, I don't know what will. He knows my parents, and they like him. He became friends with my little sister. He is absolutely in love with my dog. We really are great friends.
I knew from the start he was leaving, and by choice, wasn't moving back. I had 4 months to spend with him. We had such an awesome time in those months!
He left this morning. I saw him at church this morning (He was even included in the sermon!) and when it was time for him to leave I saw him walking out of the building realizing he hadn't said goodbye to me. I sprinted towards him -in heals, might I add- and gave him a huge hug! Said goodbye. And walked away. That was it. The end.
We'll write. We'll keep in touch. Hell, he still has 3 stories he promised to tell me. I'll see him again. I will always know where to find him.
It seems as if our whole friendship has had a time limit and I've never experienced that before. Spend as much time with a person as possible as you can, while you have the chance. Its eye opening. Thankfully, like I said, I'll see him again.

I'm so proud of him.

He's had a hard life and things haven't always been perfect but he pushed through and now he is doing something amazing and making a man out of himself. Its truly inspirational!
I can't believe today is here at last.
I can't wait to see him again.
