Okay. I'm chatting with Jamie on IM right now.
He just told me some news.
He might not be able to come home for the summer.
Jamie says:
I may get deployed
Diana says:
deployed as in where?
Jamie says:
Shaw in South Caralina
Diana says:
*breathes*
Diana says:
nearly had a heart attack there
Jamie says:
or Iraq.........
Diana says:
-_-;;;;
Jamie says:
And that is not bullshit
Diana says:
so you're either going to S.C. or Iraq?
Jamie says:
yea
Jamie says:
S.C. deployment is a go for the squadron......but Iraq we have no idea.
Diana says:
when will you find out?
Jamie says:
don't know
Diana says:
:(
Diana says:
so when will you be going to S.C.? Or is that unknown too?
Jamie says:
I don't know if I will even go. If I do its from the first of june till I think the first of september...I think
Diana says:
oh
Diana says:
okay
Diana says:
don't worry, I'm not mad or anything
Diana says:
just.....scared
Diana says:
I really really hope you don't get sent overseas, though
Jamie says:
Not my choice.
Diana says:
I know.
Jamie says:
But I hope I don't too.
Diana says:
Well, let's keep hoping for the best. In the meantime, *sends a hug*
So yes. Right now, I am a rough combination of sad, terrified, and hopeful. An emotional combination I am definitely not used to having. I did have a feeling he'd be sent elsewhere soon, but the possibility of Iraq is one of my worst fears right now - especially with the way things are going over there right now.
I don't even care if I don't get to see him over the summer. I'd rather go to sleep at night knowing he's close to home than overseas.
I'm just praying to Ra that everything will turn out for the best.
