  • OT...I knew it I knew it I KNEW IT!!!

    CJ, my deployed boyfriend, will be in CA tomorrow morning. (YAY!!!!!!) They're shipping him straight to his next assignment in CA but giving him next week off. Our plan was that after he got settled in (presumably in a few days) He'd fly out here and then we'd drive to Flagstaff and spend the rest of the week in reunited happiness.

    But I've been very nervous about that....almost paranoid that something would come up and somehow our plans would be shattered. From what I understand it's normal. But it's not like me.

    Well, it happened. There was an email waiting for me when I woke up this morning. His uncle is in the hospital in Arkansas, apparently very sick with cancer, and he needs to go say his goodbyes. He said that he would know more tomorrow, and that he's going to call me as soon as he can.

    Of course I'm really sorry about his Uncle...and of course it's important that he go say goodbye. But DARN IT!!! I've been waiting almost a year, as patiently as possible, without hearing his voice once!!! I even lived through 5 months of not hearing from him at all!!! And now I may not get to see him for a while longer??? When his week of vacation is over, who knows when he'll get time off again. THAT WEEK BELONGS TO ME!!!! I've arranged time off of work and care for DS and everything else!!!

    Breathe JoAnne....breathe. Let's focus on the main thing. Christopher will be back in the states and safe. You'll be in constant contact with him again. With him in California and you in Arizona, it'll be easier to see him.

    BUT NEXT WEEK BELONGS TO ME!!! I deserve it, and I've earned it. I'm feeling very selfish right now, and I think I have a right to be. I'm going to be raging about this all day.

    Sigh.....

    You do have every right to be upset. I know you feel bad for his uncle and understand the need for him to be there, but it still hurts you to not see him. I feel for you. I can not imagine what it is like for you, but I still feel your pain. Here is a big hug.....

      Any chance you could go to Arkansas with him... for "moral support" of course...

              I hope you can fix it so that you can go with him. He'll likely need/want your support anyway.

              I'm so sorry You have every right to feel the way you feel, and I don't blame you a bit.

              HUGS!

                What a great idea!!! Why didn't I think of that??? I could go to Arkansas with him!!! He could fly out here to me, and together we could drive I-40 to Arkansas...storm damage permitting of course. He'd get to see his uncle and I'd get to see him. It's brilliant!!!


                Thank you guys!!!!

                  Wow, lookit that, all these years I've been focusing my energy on taking over the world, instead it seems I could have focused on other issues and succeeded. Whoda thunk it? Hope it works out for you!!

                        They say all the best thinking happens in the shower! I think it happens here! Glad you found a way for you to see your loved one, and he his uncle too! Hope you have a very nice time with him, and that he gets spared further deployment.

                            If you have the time off of work and DS is cared for I think it would be very wrong of you to let him go alone

                            support? Isn't it time to give some back?
