Please Don't Leave

So, I did it. I traded my pearls for his dog tags.

Yesterday, I told Mike that I really wanted some Starbucks. (we used to go all the time and talk for hours) He surprised me by taking me to the ArmyNavy store to pick up a set of new dog tags. I didn't know he was going to give them to me, since he needed a set for himself. He told me he can get his for free when he goes back but wants me to have my own set while he's gone. I almost cried. I haven't taken them off yet and I don't plan on it any time soon.

This is all going too fast for me. I need him here. I am going to be basically alone this year. Working and school with little time to socialize or take a break. I'm worried I won't even have time to take a phone call from Mike. I'm going to send him my schedule but I know that he can't work around my schedule, he's going to call me when he gets time. I can't call him. I wish I could call and check up on him but I know that I can't. Hopefully I'll be getting a macbook so I can talk to him on Skype. I am so anxious, nervous and scared out of my mind. I have some hope, but what I really need is strength and for someone to listen.
