Still in Texas, still missing my friend…

Well, today I worked my ass off.  The rest of my unit, lucky them-still in Arkansas, was at the rifle range getting to fire their M-16’s and M-9’s…I helped soldiers here in Texas with any legal questions/issues they had.  I also helped with the S-1 functions (for you civilians, that’s the admin section).  During the briefing this morning, there were six hands raised when asked if anyone had legal issues.  Throughout the day today, we saw and helped 7 soldiers, and we have 2 more to see tomorrow.  I told the 2 for tomorrow to be at the JAG section first thing after first formation.  Hopefully I’ll get to head back to AR as soon as we finish helping them.

I would really like to get back to Little Rock in time to see my friend get promoted and maybe have a beer or 4 with everyone, but I doubt that will happen….

I think I am supposed to go out and eat with the Colonel and Sergeants Major, some other commanders that I don’t know, and all the civilians tonight.  I need to iron some semi-nice clothes to wear if that happens.  I have no clue where we will eat, but I’m sure it will call for me to look at least presentable…

My friend is still mad at me….I really miss him.  It feels like I’ve lost him forever, even though it has only been a smidge over a week since he’s stopped speaking to me.  I don’t think I realized how much he meant to me until he stopped talking to me…I even miss how he makes fun of me…I know it sounds weird, but I don’t care.  I miss him…

I answered his dad’s cell phone today when he called once, and he sounded like he could have spit fire through the phone at me when he told me to let him talk to his dad.  I only answered the phone because his dad was busy talking to someone and I secretly wanted to hear his voice, and mistakenly thought he might at least say hi to me or something….I miss my friend…DAMN-IT!  I just wish he would call me and tell me he forgives me.  I would do anything for him to talk to me again…to be the way we used to be…maybe something better than we used to be….(Yeah, in case you missed it, I have it bad for him, and have for a REALLY long time-and he knows it, along with everyone else that knows me including him…)

Bottom line:  First, I did good work today helping soldiers.  In fact, I have been asked to do more of these re-instatements when soldiers come home from deployments.  It just means more money, more traveling, and more experience helping soldiers.  I love helping soldiers.   Last, I still desperately miss my friend, and wish I knew how to speed up the forgiving process…

Until next time, ~Happy Blogging~
