The military life

I learned to deal with the deployments, the moves, the bases, long hours, the uncertainty, the this and the that, that goes into being in the military. But one thing I have never had to deal with until today, is the being left, by others who are moving. Its always been our luck that wherever we go, we always seem to be the first of our group of friends to leave. It's easier being the 'leaver'. I found out today it's not see easy being the 'leftie'. I had to say goodbye to Tera today. It was by far the quickest goodbye I've ever said in my life or else I would have stood there balling for twenty minutes. I'm gonna miss her. I'm gonna miss her family. I'm gonna thank the Lord daily for moving her in next door to me, even if it was only for a year. It was a really great year.
