he left to army

Those 46 days went by fast. Today I had to kiss and hug the love of my life for the last time. I might see him in six months when he comes back from the basic training. I have six months in front of me, all by myself, trying to stay strong for him. Because that's what he asked me to do - stay strong. He said he won't cry because it's impossible but when we were laying in bed, I was crying, he was hugging me so hard and I saw tears in his eyes. He might be a strong man but leaving his love for months affected him. How do you ladies do it? How do you go through months without your man by your side?
