Misery is optional,pain is a guarantee
with the recent tragedies in Afghanistan I feel that fear come over me.
Danes national guard friend got a phone call that he was being transferred to another unit and deployed as special forces to afghan in October,one month after graduation.
Way too close to home,ya know.
I'm really not ready for that. I don't think I'll ever be. He will be home one month from today. For how long, I don't know. how long will I have him around at all?
Many years I have contemplated who would be the first close family or friend to depart from here. It's never the ones you expect. I haven't thought about this in the past year. In recovery I learned to not fear the future,regret the past,nor shut the door on it.
Although learned it's not ingrained obviously.
For now I must wait to worry.
misery is optional, pain is a guarantee.
