First Phone Call
I got my first phone call from Ronnie early Sunday morning. I was still in bed when the phone rang. It had been more than 2 days (about 69 hours) since I had heard his voice. He called to say he was doing fine and that they are in processing 'til Friday. He was tired but doing okay. I only talked to him for about 3 minutes. He will try to call again next weekend.

Saying Goodbye
Saying goodbye is an awful feeling, even when you know you are going to see the person "eventually". Last Thursday was a really hard day; one I was not fully prepared for. On wednesday afternoon, I packed up a few things and loaded them into the car with all of Ronnie's possessions and headed for Indianapolis. I had planned to skip classes on Thursday and had worked hard to get ahead so as not to suffer at all. In the midst of it all, denial was at the back of my mind. The night zipped by and what seemed like only moments later I was hugging him as he walked into his hotel for the night. I cried so hard.
Jeanne and the girls went with me to Ft. Harrison early Thursday morning. We sat with Ronnie as he finished up all the last details. I bit my tongue to keep from crying before the "right" time. And it came. Far too quickly I might add. Before I knew what was happening, I was hugging him for the last time, cheeks wet with tears, and wishing him the best. Now my soldier is gone. He is in Fort Benning, Georgia at U.S. Army Boot Camp. I miss him. So much.

I miss you.
Rain fell last night...
Quiet gentle rain,
that fell on my window pain,
and called me back from troubled sleep,
to soothe my heart too numb to weep.
My loneliness was too deep and real,
and like a wound that would not heal,
it throbbed within me,
and i knew my arms were empty without you.
but as i listened to the sound
of soft rain falling on the ground,
i heard your voice, tender and clear,
call my name, and oh my dear,
i threw my window open wide,
to let the sweet rain rush inside.
it kissed my lips, my eyes, my hair,
and love i knew that you were there.
Tears that my heart could not release
fell down from heaven, ringing peace.
Last night while gray clouds softly wept,
i held you in my arms and slept.
