if anyone can help, it would mean SO much to me. Today my boyfriend became a marine. After having a really hard life, he decided to work hard and make something of himself. Today was his final challenge. I've been saving money since he left in January so I could afford to go see him. Despite a lot of different mishaps a kind friend offered to drive 15 hours, I booked a hotel, we were ready to go. Then last week my mom lost her job. I became the sole provider in my house and I had to use all of the money I had saved to make sure I had electricity, a home, and a way to get to work. The only way to communicate with your marine in bootcamp is to send letters. My last letter telling him I won't be able to make it didn't reach him in time. His last letter to me came today and told me that, he's already missed his chance to buy his ticket. What I'm asking is if any of my mutuals or anyone could donate a few dollars. I have some money left over, but I still need $100 to buy him a plane ticket home. If anyone could send me anything, no matter how small to my PayPal I would be so indebted. Or reblog this so other people could see this? As soon as I make $100 I'll send everything back to whoever. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/MarlinaBrown Thanks so much guys.

Well, I literally feel like he's only hours away. I know 13 days may seem long, but compared to starting out with 70 something, I'll take 13. I wrote and my last letter today. It was bittersweet because I liked him being able to know what's going on in my life. I can't wait for him to come home, but I also am NOT ready to share him. Soooooo many people are gonna wanna see him and i'm soooooo not ready. His Crucible is Thursday; so please keep him in your prayers. I miss him immensely, but we're almost finished... It's been a long journey and i can't wait until it's over❤️

I just woke up screaming. literally. I probably just woke the whole floor up. It's because he's gone. I don't understand why i'm having these nightmares. I feel like i'm going insane. On top of that, I sense Chris, everywhere I go. I can feel his presence. In class, while falling asleep, standing in line for food. I can feel him with me. I don't have long. I guess all of this is due to anxiousness. But, I don't know and I feel distraught without him. God put him in life. Now, he's chosen a life that means so much to him, but it's going to entail more lonely months. I hope the nightmares go away at least....

I GOT LETTERS TODAY!!! I honestly couldn't contain my happiness. I was shaking as I gobbled up every word. I read and reread and reread every word. Those 6 pieces of paper mean more to me than any test paper or official document. I miss him so much, and we're almost done. He wrote that he missed me so much. He asked if I would still love him if he changed when he came home. I wrote back, "of course. I made a commitment to you. I must keep it. You are my husband." I love that man...
WE GOT HIS ADDRESS TODAY!!! I have never been so excited to see his horrid handwriting! I immediately ran to the post office and mailed my letters! 6 stamps worth! 😅
I wonder what you're up to right now. You probably smile at the fact that you know I'm probably crying over something really silly that reminded me of you. Because you'd be right. I miss you so much, Grant. I could really go for one of your kisses right now.
Writing Grant every single day, and sending all of the letters in a single envelope the second I get my first letter from him. 😊 He's going to spend the entire hour of free-time he gets, reading my letters, lol. He won't have anyyy time to write me back, but that's okay. He needs to know I'm staying strong and everything will be okay.
