Tony's Army Wife - surviving my first deployment

Tuesday, May 29, 2007

It's quiet in the ER, at the moment. (Knock on wood). So I figured I'd take a minute to share my story since I promised that I would.

Last Tuesday, after I got out of work at 11pm, I decided to go to a bar and hang out with my friend Scotty. While I was there, I ended up bumping into a guy who used to work with my sister.. he now works at the bar I was at. I showed him a picture of my husband and I, and he had the audacity to say to me, "I'm sorry, but as a former Marine, I am telling you that your husband isn't coming home." Immediately, my eyes began to fill with tears. I wanted nothing more than to knock his teeth down his throat. In my mind, I was trying to comprehend how someone could say such a thing like that. I was truly devastated. As if I don't already think about all the bad things that could possibly happen to him while he is over there, I didn't need this moron throwing his 2 cents into all of it. I couldn't stop myself from crying. Of course, Scotty came over and tried so hard to cheer me up. It kind of worked. I felt a little better after he talked some sense into me, however, I am still hurt about what was said to me. It's not something you can easily brush off. And I am sure that anyone who is in a similar situation as me, can surely agree with that.

Go figure. I sit down to blog and now we are getting busy. Oh Joy!

    OMG! How rude!!

    Don't listen to that piece of crap 'Marine' because your husband WILL come home!

    And you're a lot better of a woman than I, because I would have knocked his teeth down his throat!
