"It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays." -Time Traveler's Wife
Replace the name Henry for Tom and you've got my thoughts exactly with that quote. He was supposed to be back either by tomorrow or friday. We were going to spend a night in Atlanta and then on the 4th drive to Clarksville and eat at the Blackhorse and watch the fireworks on base. We were going to celebrate being engaged for one year and he was going to take pictures of us underneath the fireworks. It was gonna be great.
I knew that I shouldn't get excited, because the second you start to depend on anything with the military they change their minds and ruin all your plans. But hey, I figured, he's already on his way back, what could possibly go wrong at this point? I thought I was in the clear for happiness. I thought it was okay to let myself be excited again. Shoulda known better.
He's suck in Bagram. He could be there for a couple days, a couple weeks. Who knows? And we wont know when he can leave till the very last second. So I literally cannot make any plans. It just amazes me that they can be so incompetent. I just dont understand why they can't fix this, or why no one cares enough to even attempt to fix this error. It pisses me off so much because he isn't even supposed to be there right now. He should have been out of the army months ago but they freaking stoplossed him and made him stay. You'd think the least they could do is get him home for his R&R.
I just want him back here with me. Is that so much to ask?
