IM. And I must say, talking to him on the phone, hearing his voice is much better. But at the same time, it's hard because it does make me miss him more. But literally every phone call is different. Sometimes I get off the phone and I'm so happy he sounds good and he's having a good day and it makes me feel better. But other days, I get off the phone and I just want to crawl back in bed. It hits me all over again and I'm mad that he's so far away. This week the thing that seems to piss me off the most is that he can contact me, but I cont contact him. I leave him IMs and emails for him to check later on. But if I really needed him for something, I would have to wait until he called me or had a minute to check his email. I'm hoping this has a solution sooner or later. Even when Joe was in Germany, he had a local cell phone, pay by the minute kind of a thing. I could text him (even though it was quite pricy) and even call him through a phone card.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421743203483315154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122029795960973041.post-53040458343445485622010-03-31T14:39:55.699-06:002010-03-31T14:39:55.699-06:00I'm glad that you are writing about your "...I'm glad that you are writing about your "after" feelings as well. I'm up...then I'm down, then I'm convinced I can do this then I fall apart wondering how the HELL am I going to make it. I can't wait to be able to actually hear him, I've gotten one email that led to about 40 minutes on Yahoo messenger. Does it make it hard to hear Joe now that he's gone? Should I be prepared to start the "mourning" (thats what it feels like) process all over again? I hope you abd Rigel have a fun meeting!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13678355807848201303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122029795960973041.post-1703232185463149502010-03-31T12:59:56.138-06:002010-03-31T12:59:56.138-06:00Sara,

I just dont understand how someone can be prepared to go to war.. but then again, I'm not trained to do it. He says it's like going to school to be a psychologist and then having to settle for working at Wal-Mart (oh boy does he know what buttons to push!!).Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421743203483315154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122029795960973041.post-42071659733252462212010-03-31T11:25:09.688-06:002010-03-31T11:25:09.688-06:00So great you are able to meet some new friends :)

He said it would be like always practicing basketball for the big game, but then never getting to play if he didn't deploy. I guess that makes sense, and it ties in perfectly with what you said. I definitely have been feeling the same pride on and off this week... in between the other stuff lol.Kaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093010971693415830noreply@blogger.com
