Second tour
While Tyler was off on his second tour, Mandi tried to call or write to him when she could. He couldn’t talk every day, but when he got the chance he would call her just to hear her voice. Sometimes, Mandi was even at work when she got a phone call and would take a break just to speak with him.
This went on for weeks and they were sad not seeing each other. Mandi sometimes couldn’t sleep at night, thinking about Tyler and if everything was okay. He promised her that he was in no real danger with his unit, but she didn’t believe him on that completely. It was a rough period.
