My day was...interesting. I volunteered, took a lot of x-rays, numbed an incredibly hard to numb patient, and attempted to communicate in spanish....I didn't do too horribly bad on that one.
Then I went to Clark, because I was right down the street, to say hi to friends. My friend Laurie was not in the best of states. Life is tough for her right now and I knew I needed to be there for her. So I made her call in to work (they only had her scheduled for an hour and a half...) I took her to my house where we did some "boy bashing" (don't worry guys...it's really harmless; we don't talk about "you" specifically...just stupid things boys do in general, that and I think we both suck at trying to talk mean about guys for the most part...hahahaha). Basically her ex-boyfriend and a very good friend of hers are dating/courting now. It was especially hard on her because she wasn't over this guy yet. I was the perfect person to talk to because I know EXACTLY how she's feeling. I've been through it twice.....
Anyways, then I went to Alison's house where me, her and Beth hung out for a while and got our new Bible study book.
So.....I went to my friend Frogg's house to see him one last time before he left back for Alaska. This portion ensues my title (I hardly cry anymore....and I mean really cry. The last time I did was in August). You see...my friend Frogg is in the Army. Next September he will be going to Iraq. He won't be coming back to visit before he leaves for Iraq. He is also going to be storming into buildings when he's there...this is not good for him because he is pretty much the shortest guy in his unit. He will always go in the building first. It dawned on me that I may never see him again after tonight. It hurts so much to think about and every time I do my eyes fill with tears. I cried about half of the 17 minute drive home as well as on Frogg's shoulder before I left.
I know it's still a ways away, but if you read this keep him in your prayers.
Gosh I wish I wasn't alone tonight..... :(
