Sunday Blues II
It’s been a crazy…crazy week. World Wind!! Monday my nice little world was turned up side down when I found out that my boyfriend received confirmation that he would be leaving for Iraq on Friday (Jan. 23)!! I knew that it was a definite possibility and that he, himself wanted to go, but in the back of my mind and at the bottom of my heart I hoped and wished that it would never actually happen. I realize that it’s a bit selfish to write, but who would want their loved one in a war zone?!?
He left on Friday and I have received a couple short e-mails from him. I am happy that he is OK. He is only scheduled to be there for 9 months (to me it 9 months sounds like 9 years) and I am going to try to keep myself busy so the time will fly.
I have been wondering what to other military girlfriends and wives do when their spouses are deployed for extended periods of time?? When your best friend and lover is gone….what do you do?
