Wow.. some time has passed since I have last written... I made it through Basic and have now MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) qualified even, however I am still at Ft. Gordon waiting to be released. I went home for Exodus (Christmas Leave) for two weeks, and it was probably the happiest I have been in a very long time. I found something out that I never knew before, but wish I had. Something that still makes my heart melt, yet sends shivers down my spine. All this time what I was looking for was right in front of me, and I never knew. Never did I just think that hey this is the one for me, there is no comparison to this guy.. But, all of that is resolved now. Shyness taken away and replaced with something much more satiating.. I am happy now.. truly happy, and it will not fade as long as I have him in my life. Things don't look quite so bad when you have someone to confide in and love. The world becomes more colorful and your eyes open to stare upon a realm of enchantment you never before knew existed. I just can't wait to return home and see that smiling face and feel that warm embrace once again. I miss him, my Tommy..
