Thank you, handsome, for the beautiful necklace. I love you.

Thankful 1.

I just wanted to mention how thankful I am that you are willing to listen to me rant and rave about cheer and the little bit of drama that I deal with (the Damien being a disrespectful jerk). I love that you have your own opinion but hear me out and don't think that I'm nuts or tell me that I am over reacting.

also, I love you.

Eleven years ago two towers fell and shook the United States....

this flared up some emotions in some not-so-patriotic people, making them believe and respect America more....and it "angered" the already patriotic ones, to say the least. Soldiers, Airmen, Seamen, Guard, Seals...all of the military men and women who have fought before and after then have nothing less than all my respect.

I was thinking about all of these American Heroes and how I had always wanted to grow up and be one when I was younger, but then when I got older I discovered that I am just not made for it. So I'm going to do what I can from home, I'm going to support and love the ones that I can, and I will hopefully be able to help them from the civilian side of things....

and then it hit me.

I never thanked you.

So...Thank you.

Thank you for deciding that you wanted to serve and protect this country and the people in it. My friends and family included. I am proud to say that I know you, and not just because you are my boyfriend and a great person, but because by joining the Air Force you have shown that you are willing to put others well being before your own. It's a bittersweet thing that I respect.

I love you,

Caitlin

Chuck, I miss you. This morning has been torture and I know that tomorrow will only be worse. Eventually it will get easier....at least I hope so....not because my feelings will be weaker but because my ability to deal with the ache will be stronger. Last night/this morning I asked you to call me whenever you can. I hope you do. It really doesn't matter to me if I'm working, in class, eating, doing homework, cheering, anything. Nothing is more important than you. Gosh, I sound creepy. I need to get back to class now.... I hope to hear from you soon. I love you, handsome. Caitlin xoxo

Dear Chuck, You have been gone for just over 36 hours now and I haven’t stopped thinking about you once. Thinking about how seeing you so upset hurt, but filled me with happiness at the same time. I couldn’t bring myself to look back more than that one time, it hurt so much to watch you walk away. But I know that you had to, you have to do this. And I know that you will do awesome, because you are the definition of awesome. This blog, as lame as it might be, is my surprise for you when you get done with basic. Hopefully you won’t feel like you missed a thing….besides me. I want you to read it and know that there is love in every word, sentence, space, and punctuation mark. Charles Robert Trim, you are my everything, and one day I hope you will be my every day, every night, my every moment. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I love you, handsome. Caitlin xoxo
