Camo gear. All over the living room floor.
My heart always squeezes when I see it, because it means he's leaving. Again.
And then.
Then when he packs the helmet with his BLOOD TYPE on it, you worry.
"It's a good thing," Tom assures me, because I always pale when I see it. "If something happens, they can help quickly."
Sometimes I think, "Why can't he have a job where he doesn't need to have his blood type written everywhere?"
But Tom wouldn't be happy in a job where nothing happens.
I always hope he'll be okay. He has to be.
I always hope time passes quickly so then he's home again.
Camo gear. All over the living room floor.
I hate the sight of it.

Camo gear does suck!!! If I thought it would change anything I would hide it but....

That can't be nice at all :( Sending prayers!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds awful. I can't imagine walking around with my blood type on my helmet. Sending you lots of positive thoughts!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteHe's an awesome person and so are you.
Wishing him many safe prayers and wishing I could come over and bring your Oreos.
:-( So brave, though. I didn't know they put their blood types on their helmets. Lots of prayers for a safe return.
ReplyDeleteYou, your husband, AND your children are true heroes. Will be thinking of you and praying for his quick and safe return :)!
ReplyDeleteI hate it for you, but I'm grateful he does it.
ReplyDelete{{hugs}} My stomach always knots up when I see the bags. :(
ReplyDeleteHugs friend. This was me last week. I even said the same exact thing about his helmet. Hang in there, we got this.
ReplyDeleteUgh. I'm sorry. The military really doesn't waste anytime getting the boys out do they? I feel like he just got notice and now he's gone. That is awful, I'm so sorry.
