There is a time

There is a time when you don't know what your other half is doing right now on the other side of the world. There is a time when you can't just switch off your mind, how hard you try. There is a time when you stick to your phone more than anything else. There is a time you cancel all your meetings and plans, just to sit right next to your phone. There is a time when they just can't call home.

You have no idea when they will be able to call you next. But when you haven't heard out for so many days, it just hits you in the face. You're just wondering and wondering, you become angry with yourself. You stick to the news even though you know you shouldn't. Can we help it? Not at all.

In the end, the one thing we should always keep in mind is that no news is good news. Even though I am sooo sick of that saying! I've heard it so many times in the last couple of weeks. But anyway, it's true. It's hard not being able to speak to the love of your life, but you have to cope with it. The other thing we should keep in mind is that their job is the most important thing during the time of a deployment. C. is on my mind 24/7. That doesn't mean that I am on his all the time as well. He is out there to do a job. He is out there to make the life of millions of people better. He is out there to safe their lives. 

He is a true life hero. They are not able to call home anytime they want. That's what we should keep in mind. And there is a time, when they are not able to have the contact. Even tough he wants to speak to me as badly as I want to speak to him. And I know the next time he gets a chance, he will grab a phone and let me know everything's gonna be alright.
