This is one of the first things Arlo showed me online after I graduated from my training, and was devastated to find that I was not allowed to return home for 6 months, not even a short visit. I was falling apart on my first day in my military school, and I found this wonderful work of art that reflected how Arlo felt while I was gone. This cheered me up and continues to, and over a month later I feel that we will survive (and thrive) as our time apart grows shorter and I've even earned some time to go off base and spend time with him when he comes to town!
Now, I just wonder: why the greenish-blue pants? I never wear anything like that!
Still, my compliments to the artist  Bloodymisslucy
