Cadet misses his girlfriend in camp
Police and military training isn’t just physically tough, but also mentally. During this time, cadets are not able to conveniently communicate with their loved ones, be it family members or girlfriends, as their hand phones are often stored away.
So people often choose to send their messages the good ol’ way: letters.
On Saturday, Suriyothai Police Training Camp, a training camp in Thailand’s Pattani province, posted a video of a young police cadet named Tim reading a letter from his girlfriend. While doing so, he began tearing in front of his unit, with ended up melting everyone’s hearts.
Girlfriend’s letter brought many to tears
While some of his friends giggled as Tim was reading the letter, many got carried away with their emotions and started crying along with him as well. We reckon those who were must have been thinking about their loved ones in that moment.
In her letter, Tim’s girlfriend wrote about her determination to wait for Tim to finish his training. She also repeated how much she missed him, before ending the letter with a classic “I love you.”
After reading, Tim left her message for his girlfriend on the cameras, telling her that he would be returning soon.
