Happy one year, lover!

Today is the day! One year ago today my missionary left to serve the Lord for 2 whole years. The past year has been very hard, but also very strengthening. Matthew is an incredible missionary. Above all the rest! I know I am a bit biased ;) He has given me so much strength and wisdom through his mission, and I could not be anymore proud of him. 
I still remember the night before he left for his mission. We were texting, as we usually did, and I remember how hard it was to say goodbye that night. We always hated saying goodbye to each other, but that night was the hardest of all, because we knew that it would be 2 whole years until we would see each other again. I have never felt a heart break so deep like the one I had one year ago. Even to this day I still feel a piece of my heart missing, but I know that Argentina needs him right now and that I can see him again soon. Mathew is the most amazing boy I have ever met. He is so special to me and every day I am so grateful to be a part of his world. Even though he's far away, he is still in my heart forever. 2 years of waiting for a missionary is a long time, but he is every bit worth it. 
365 days till I can hug my boy again!
