November 12th
1st day away
Dear my beloved Bella,
Today is my first day away from you yet it feels like it has been years, although I promise you one year from now, I will hold you in my arms and little EJ will have his daddy back again.
You have to understand that choosing to fight over here in Afghanistan and to leave both of you behind is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but yet somehow it feels right. You know that since I was little I have always felt that it is my duty to help hundreds of people, and fighting in this war feels like my way of giving back. For me it is a duty to my country and a duty to the people I'm trying to protect to be here fighting. For years I have trained to do this and now it's finally my time to fight for what's right, I need to do this.
When I was leaving you at the airport, I swear my heart broke. You are so special to me but I had to leave you behind to protect you. Although don't worry. I promise that with every fibre of my being I will fight here to make you proud, to give EJ a dad who is worth something.
The ride over here went smoothly, I've managed to meet a few of my fellow soldiers and they seem like a nice bunch. I feel sure that I will make some lifelong friends here. The camp is decent... better than I thought. The sleeping quarters is quite large although I will always miss sleeping with you in my arms. We have only had to do minimal training, as we are setting off properly tomorrow to start fighting. If I'm honest, I'm scared, although when I picture your face that all goes away. You make me feel strong Bella; you will help me through this.
I'm sure you and EJ will be ok; I know he's only 10 months old but he's a fighter and makes me so proud. He has grown so much and it's horrible to know I will miss a whole year of his life. Although I know you will be the best-est mother ever, although please remind him daddy loves him so much it hurts; It pains me to know I'm leaving you and him.
Bella I know this is hard but trust me it will get easier, we may be so far away but we still look up at the same sky. If you ever get scared baby, just look at the stars and know we are both being shined down upon. Even if you can't see me, know I'm always going to be there looking out for you.
I've got to go as we have an early start tomorrow. Tomorrow is when it begins. I will write to you when possible but I don't know when that will be. Remember when tomorrow comes you need to know I will be fighting for you
I left you my heart, please look after it.
Love
Edward
