Goodbye’s
Today i went down to the airport to say goodbye to friends. About 13 guys from Matt’s shop shipped out today. they will be in the box for about 8 months. It’s hard to say good bye particularly because 2 of the guys we are really close friends with. They told us when they get back we will hang out. But that won’t happen, we will be leaving in two months, and we won’t be here when they get back. We of course invited them to come visit, but it’s still hard.
Goodbye’s are a common thing in military life. Loved ones deploy, people move. It’s hard because it seems like as soon as you find a great set of friends, someone leaves.
It took us a while to find this group of friends. We weeded through a couple bad ones. I’m really going to miss them. and I hope that We can find friends as good as these one’s easily once we get to Washington.
Keep those guys in you prayers please. And continue to pray for the POW in Afghanistan.
There’s a POW from Fort Richardson here in Alaska. There was some video sent of him… It’s scary stuff.
