I am so depressed today. There are just so many different things.
We found out around 8 last night that my uncle was living his last few days. He will have lost his battle to cancer. He beat it once when it was in his lymph nodes and bone marrow. He had to have his leg amputated. After that, we thought it was all over. Earlier this summer, we found out he had lung cancer. He got pneumonia about 2 weeks ago and everything has been down hill since. They wanted to put him on a ventilator last night, but he told them no. He said that the Lord was coming to get him. It's sad, but refreshing. He won't have to suffer anymore, he won't be miserable anymore.
The Ball is next week. If my uncle lives until next week, 9 chances out of 10, the funeral will be during the time that I'm gone. That's my luck. What do I do then? I'm close to my uncle, so I want to go to the funeral. But I want to go to the Ball too, I've been looking forward to this all year.
Also, my boss's dad is dying. I didn't figure he would make through the weekend, but he did.
Jay's EAS is April 7, 2007. While that is over a year away, it's still a big decision. He's starting to think harder about it every night. It's been hard being apart, but I know that if he re-enlists, he is going to request orders back to Lejeune. When he was in NC, we saw each other every other weekend if not EVERY weekend. But I know if he goes back now, he's going to be deployed again. I know it's selfish of me to say I don't want him to go back, but I don't think any wife/fiance/girlfriend can say they want their significant other to leave. It would be for the best if he does re-enlist, considering he will have 12 years in after this enlistment and he can retire at 20. He did say that he was done teaching though. I don't know why, but I'm guessing because of all the craziness that's happened in the past month out there.
Two of his friends flipped out when they had flashbacks from Iraq. He had to take them to the ER. One of his students fell off a 2nd floor set of stairs and cracked his head open. One had a lighter blow up in his face the other night and burned him from the bridge of his nose to his collar bone. Then he had a student try to OD this week when he failed a test.
He's getting nominated for Instructor of the Year. I'm proud of him. He was the best instructor in his section. Nobody failed the class. All of his students passed. He truly is good at what he does. I just wish he wouldn't get so involved sometimes.
I go to the dentist Thursday. I know he's going to tell me I need a root canal. I hope he doesn't have any big plans for the next couple of weeks. It's going to be AFTER Thanksgiving. There is just too much going on right now. I just want to make it through Thanksgiving. It's my favorite holiday. It just feels like this one is going to be a disaster, for some reason.
