Feb 5th...
I can't breathe.
Yes I can: Derrick called this morning and said he's not shipping out today. Good grief. I don't know how many more times I can say goodbye to him...just leave already! :) I was bummed at first, mainly for his sake because Mike was the last person to make it on to the flight (Alphabetically) so they are no longer traveling together. Nobody could even give us an exact date that Derrick is going to go. It makes me wonder if it's going to be a call in the middle of the night that says "get here by 5 am" or if he will have a day or two notice. He told me there is a possibility of piggy backing with another unit this Sunday, or waiting until the 22nd when more of his own guys ship. I guess we will just wait and see. He is still going to the same place though, and he will meet up with Mike and everybody else once he's there. He just gets the benefit of spending a few extra days with his family...that's how were looking at it. The whole unit will come back as a whole, so the more days he spends here, the less he has to spend over there and that is just fine by me. One of his buddies today told us to not stress about saying goodbye all over again, we've already done that. Now we just spend every minute as a family, and when the time comes for him to leave, we won't have to rely so much on the painful part. We already did that and survived, we don't need to do it again.
I promise, I will keep everyone as informed as I can, I know how much he is loved and cared about and I don't want anyone to worry.
