Well, as most of you know, Brad is away in Oklahoma at boot camp. He left last Tuesday and he called once that day and twice on Wednesday. He called again on Friday and Saturday, but I wasn't home so I didn't get the calls. I finally got to talk to him again on Tuesday, which was wonderful. He said that it's hot down there and he misses me, but I could hardly hear him (those damn pay phones suck for volume!). I got a letter from him yesterday, but there was no return address on it, I guess he doesn't have it yet, so I wrote him a 9 page letter (yes, I am a little obsessive, he's my hubby!!) and stamped it and haven't sent it yet.
Well, today at 8:30am, he called again and I couldn't even make out hardly anything he said, he was crying so bad!! I feel awful for him!! All I could make out from what he said was that it's very hard, what he's doing, and that he misses me and loves me. That was out of about 4 1/2 min the call lasted. I just wish there was something I could do for him!! I wrote him another letter, but I still don't have an address to send it to, so it'll prolly be about a week or so before he even gets them!! He also told me that he sent me another letter and that one doesn't have his addy on it either. I'm so bummed!! I just wish there was something I could do for him right now!! I know I don't sound sad on the phone, I've pretty much stopped crying about it now, it's not going to do me any good to cry about it. I guess the best thing for me to do is to be strong about it and not cry when I talk to him, 'cause that'll just make him cry and we won't even get to talk because we'll both be crying. Sorry, I just had to vent.
HUGS!!! I am so sorry for what you are going through. Thinsg will be better and he will be home soon. It is pretty hot here too. But he should feel better because a cold front is moving into the area and it should be in the 80s this weekend.
How long is he going to be there? My husband(fiancee' at the time) was gone for a month when he went down to Florida to try and get everything set up for us while I worked on finishing getting everything packed. That was the longest we have ever been apart. Since then we have spent three nights apart. One night after we moved he had to fly back down to Florida and he came back the next day and then another was a camping bachelor party for my brother. And the last was the day before our wedding. This has been over the course of 5 years, and I could not imagine him gone for any length of time at all. I feel bad for you but I am sure you both get through this and just think of the day when you are together again. Also, don't feel bad for venting...........thats what we are all here for!!!!
I'm sorry Mollie, I can imagine that would be really hard to go through. Is he in the military? I think I missed what he's doing, but I'm assuming it's military?
That's good though that ya'll are keeping in touch through letters and the phone (as crappy as the phone is, lol)
And I guess think of it this way....the average person lives at least 60 years. This whole thing is just a teeny tiny step in your entire lives, but will help set up the rest of your lives. And when all is said and done, ya'll will be glad he did it and realize that really, out of all the time we have here on earth, that the time he took to do that wasn't really any time at all. The time is going slow now, but like all things, it will end and ya'll will get to be together again Feel free to vent anytime! I couldn't imagine how hard it would be to be away from a loved one for a long time.
