Gone

Alan left yesterday afternoon for Basic Training. I’ve been walking around the house like a zombie, stopping in doorways and just looking into a room like I’m afraid of disturbing it. I’ve cried less than I expected, but I’m sure that will change. I think the worst part are the calls and offers of help from well-meaning family members. I can cope right up until I hit that wall of sympathy.

He flies out of Bradley today and he’s going to call me from either Hartford or St. Louis airport. I haven’t written to him yet, mostly because we talked on the phone yesterday, but I also don’t have his mailing address yet. Hopefully he’ll have it when he calls.

Okay. Time for work. And time to swallow that lump in my throat.

*huge hugs* I know how terrible it is to have your significant other way – even for a short period of time it’s terrible. Just think how much it will be worth it, though *HUGS* Facebook me if you need me! 🙂 ~*Stephanie*~

Just try and take it one day at a time. It sucks for the short term, but it will be worth it in the long term. *Hugs*
