Since he was transferred to Arizona late last year, I have had less and less contact with him, and less exposure has lessened my everyday attachment. I can now remember our clashes without those experiences being overpowered by our mutual mental and physical attraction. All that talking, hugging, kissing and loving was a mighty powerful drug and I felt like an addict. I'm now a recovering addict, and I have good days and bad days.
Yesterday, he was on my mind ... most of the day ... sneaking in amidst my work stress, my gym time and my leisure time. I had not heard from him in a while, but I could not get him off my mind. And lo and behold, I finally hear from him ...
He has orders to deploy to Iraq in June ........ let the worry begin.

Things that are important just can't be easy. Just once I would love an easy solution. Worry for the warrior, but go on with your life. The good stuff is a good memory, but the bad stuff will not go away either. And you can always find the good stuff in others. Take me, for example. There is nothing like a little Coffey to start your day.
ReplyDeleteEerie how you had him on your mind all day - when the news came in...
ReplyDeleteI think there is something to ESP - its just so hard to get a handle on it though.
@Coffey Pot -- Agreed, even though you may not be able to tell from my annoyances, I'm always looking for the good in others -- here, there and everywhere. Thanks for being here ;)
ReplyDelete@Intense Guy -- It was a bit eerie ... or "woo woo" as I like to say about stuff that can't be readily explained. I do think of him, but not usually in a preoccupied way like yesterday. Yesterday, I was poignantly feeling his absence.
