Day 5: He Loves Me:)
I finally got my first call. Midnight last night my cell phone finally rang. The poor guy is super busy, but they finally had some time. His words were they “hit the ground running”. They aren’t really “there” yet, they are in their “limbo” location to acclimate and train for a while. It’s hot of course, but he’s ok with that. We talked for a while, I caught him up on the shooting we had at the px yesterday. Oh…guess I should talk about that huh?
Around 11:10am yesterday, I thought I’d run to the PX and get the dogs their food. But, because I’m a little obsessive about hearing from Hubby, I opted to not go anywhere until I did. At 11:20pm a man walked into our PX, shot one of the kiosk vendors, and turned the gun on himself. Both victims died. It was a really frightening thing to hear, a block from your house no less. I feel so bad for her family, and his. You just don’t expect this kind of thing behind these gates.
Anyhow, we chatted for a bit when the phone warned him his time was up, he said I’d hear from him in another week. Unfortunately, the phone cut us off before we got to say “I Love You”. My heart broke a little, but I was happy to at least have had my first call. I comforted myself with the fact that he knows I love him, and I know he loves me. Suddenly, my cell phone rings again. He found a call center with no lines. So he called back.
Me: I was just sitting here doing my “I didn’t get my I Love You freakout”
Him: I figured:P
The man called me back, to say I Love You. I have the bestest husband ever. EVER!!
