Feeling sad and lonely. Boyfriend has been away for 4 weeks so far My boyfriend had to leave the country because he needed to go to take care of his father who has cancer. I don't get to talk to him because he has no service, and I also don't know when he will be home. It all depends how his dad responds to the medicine which could take months to even a year. It is so hard to go on every day without any communication with him and I just miss him so much. With holidays coming up I feel so lonely. I do get to talk to him once a week but that is all. I don't know how to even stay busy or stop thinking about it so much.
