I think it is finally starting to hit me that Skyeler will be leaving for his summer training soon. This year it is in South Korea and next year it is in Thailand. Today I was looking up the distance in miles and in time and it is a little depressing for me. South Korea is 5,968 miles away (I think if you travel west) and there is a 15 hour time difference. Say it is 3:00 pm here it is 6:00 am there but it is the next day.
I HATE being away from Skyeler for so long and I don't think there are very many people who really understand how BIG of a deal it is. I can't just call him to say hi or see how he is doing. I cant just roll over in bed an have someone to cuddle with or kiss me goodnight. I will be going grocery shopping alone, taking care of Mikena alone, and just being alone. If something goes wrong with the apartment I will be taking care of it myself. It will be hard especially since I HATE being alone.
I absolutely dread deployments but I am thankful to those who are going through it now. Especially since I have a really good friend who is in Afghanistan right now and wont be back till February. It is just a scary thing. Skyeler had a battle buddy who was killed recently in a non-battle accident in Afghanistan. So just because they or he isn't in combat doesn't mean that he will come home safely.
Yes we did chose to sign up for the Army.... but it doesn't make it any easier when they are away.
