The Waiting

Setting here on my couch looking back at today - the song "The Waiting" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. "The waiting is the hardest part" - truer words never spoken.

When ever I hear that there are US casualties in Afghanistan I always wonder if Lee is safe. I can't help but wonder. I will admit that I check the obituaries in the Kansas City Star newspaper on-line. It kind of freaked me out a bit when I seen the words "Soldier from KC killed in Afghanistan". A soldier from Lee's Battalion was killed but he was in a different province. I am very sorry for the man's family.

I sent Lee a skype im asking him to just let me know he is okay. It has been like 5 weeks since I have heard from him. No matter what I hope his headaches have stopped or gotten more tolerable and I hope he is safe.

I just wish I would hear from him. I am assuming that he and I are still good. I am still a contact in Skype. I guess if he wanted to be done with me he would get rid of that. I just have to think that he is really busy and needs to focus on his task at hand.

I guess until then I will just have to wait.........
