manuel's leaving

Sep 03, 2005 19:51

Manuel's Liutenant just called. He'll be deploying to Mississippi within the next 2 days to help in the relief effort for hurricane Katrina. He's to report to Las Flores at 1600 tomorrow.
OMG.
He's been on alert since yesterday, but his unit was the first alternate. So I had thought and made myself to the idea that he wasn't really going to leave.
And I have no idea how long he's going to be gone. Now I have to worry about packing all his stuff and storing it somewhere on base. I have to buy my Greyhound ticket, pack my stuff, quit my job, etc. But I'll be alone until at least Sept. 20, that's like 3 weeks? I guess I don't have to quit my job right away since I have to be here for my last prenatal appt on base on Sept. 20.
What saddens me the most is that Manuel won't be here for the only ultrasound that's scheduled Sept. 9. Oh, God! WHY NOW?
I'm probably being selfish. There's so many people out there that need help and I'm worried about being by myself and him missing the baby's ultrasound?
Percy just called and basically told me the same thing I already know. SHIT.
Oh, yeah. Manuel isn't here(he went to Albertson's to buy juice) and he left his cell phone. He has like 3 voice messages from different guys in his unit. I just want him to get home already. I just want to hug him and tell him I'm sorry about everything I've ever done to piss him off and for being so sad and crying all the time and that I'm going to miss him so much. I love him so much.
