I know what you mean! I was at his parents house last week and I swear I could feel him coming up behind me to rub my back. No one was even around me. He told me in a letter he could feel me there too. You're not going crazy, or I am too!

Lol my boyfriend told me in his letter that his bunk mate teases him because he calls my name in his sleep lol. I miss him so much. I hear him all the time... Ugh! In a way it makes me feel better but it makes me miss him too!

Aw that's sweet though! I know what you mean. When it felt like he was going come up behind me and he wasnt there, I cried. Only for a second though then I went outside, looked up into the stars and started talking to him. I looked crazy but it comforted me so I didn't care. It made me feel better when he said he could feel me there with him at boot camp. Like whatever I am doing is working :)

I talk to my boyfriend too. I know he can't really hear me, but i like to think he can feel it somehow. I haven't heard from him yet, but who knows? Maybe it's working. :)

Yea,we are. I talk to my fiance all the time. I wish the mail was faster, or that he could call me to ease my mind. I know his mind needs some easing as well. Its just hard because nobody understands what im dealing with. All of my friends talk to their boyfriends all day, and im just waiting on the mail to run. I miss him soooooo much.. Ugh!

Yeah, they need us our comfort so much more because of what they are going through. I try to encourage him so much in my letters because I know he needs it. I went through Army basic training when I was single. I can imagine it being so much harder leaving the ones you love behind. I just can't wait to get him back. I was at church this morning and wanted so badly to share the moment with him. At least at A-school we'll get to talk to them

I always have dreams that my BF is talking to me while I write him a letter. Then I wake up, and write him a letter first thing! My friends tell me that he is tapping into my dreams, and telling me to write him so he will have something to read. It makes me so happy! I write him everyday and let him know about all the dreams I have about him. I have his teddy bear. I sleep with it every night. Sometimes I think it is him when I wake up, because it smells like him.

The same thing happens with the body pillow he got for me. I spray it every night so when I wake up in the middle of the night it feels like he is there because of his cologne. I can't wait until it is real!

I used to randomly scratch my bfs back at night. When he first left, I would hug his bear, and scratch his back. I would feel the bears fuzzy fur on my hand and go from being half asleep to wide awake. It is funny to think about it now.
