DARIAN + LESLEE

"Love knows no boundaries & no distance; 
miles & obstacles mean absolutely nothing in the face of love."

When I first found out that my brother had decided to join the coastguard, I wasn't too happy. I couldn't put in my mind that he was grown up and wasn't a little boy anymore. I was worried he would get hurt and I was upset that someone might possibly yell orders at him. Yes, I am completely over protective of my family. 

I am glad I kept these feelings from him because I am now a proud older sister. 

Ever since I was out of high school, I had to learn to be away from my family. Although my brother went away for bootcamp, it was already a feeling I was used to. I know this is just the beginning of a long journey for him. I couldn't begin to tell you the feeling other people might feel when their loved one is gone for months to a year at a time fighting for our country. I respect their strength, courage, and unlimited amount of faith. 

I'm so glad that Darian & Leslee were reunited recently. I know it doesn't feel any better each time they separate, but they did tell me it does get easier. In a couple of months, they will be reunited once again. :)
