Well, that happened sooner than I thought it would.
In every deployment, there is a moment when something happens. Whatever it is, it makes you reach for the phone to call the person. Sometimes it is a funny thing, sometimes it is a sad thing, sometimes it is a happy thing.
Yesterday, I lost my job. "Downsized" after 5 years of loyal service. Completely blindsided.
Stunned, upset, and anxious all I wanted to do was call my best friend and talk it out.
But I couldn't do that.
I can't do that.
I'll tell him, at some point, when he is able to communicate. And when the time is right for him to hear it.
But I can't just pick up the phone and be reassured that everything will turn out ok- by the person I turn to when I need to be reassured that everything will be ok.
That's what sucks about deployment.
Yesterday I was stunned. Today I am wallowing. Tomorrow I turn on the determination and figure out my next step.
Miss ya Bestie.
