MARRIAGE?? Yikes!
I just heard from Ty tonight. I'd been concerned, having not heard from him other than a quick voicemail here & there. I'd been hoping to hear from him for my birthday, maybe get a card or something. So I was bummed. He called me the next daY - apparently he'd gone to California to see his girl and I knew nothing about it. I found out now that he called his dad while there and others knew about the trip - so I really felt sad and out of the loop.
Anyways he called today (I was at work cuz it was our first weekend in the new bldg at work and they offered OT if we came in to help out). So I missed his call. He called again when I was home and we yakked a bit. How was the trip? How's the car? What ya been doing? Trip was ok. Car had to be repaired when he got to Gabby's. Learning to be out in the woods with a compass and got his Hummer license so he can drive ammo around now. Well, I'm really glad you called. Well, I had to call you today anyway. Oh??? (uh oh what happened?) Yeah, I'm getting married. This is the part where I try to sound normal as my head is spinning.
Wow. This time last year we were at the Game Feat at the club and I was letting him shoot my pistol. He hadn't graduated yet and I hadn't met Gabby yet. Man how things have changed. He's only been 19 a few months. Just starting his Army tour. Just bought his first car. And now he's getting married. Oh Lord I hope it works out but new wife, new job and moving to Germany in a few months. It blows my mind. I hope to God they aren't foing this for the wrong reasons - like afraid to be apart. I really wish he'd waited a while. But it's his life, not mine. I like Gabby a lot and I know I will grow to love her if she lets me. I just can't beleive I'm "losing" my baby so soon. I thought I'd have a few years to work on making up for all we lost by being the main person for him, wanting to support him and write and send things snd be there. All I tried to do thru basic. But I guess I can't make up for what's lost and he's already got people in his life to be there for him. So I can be there for him. But I'll never get to be what I should have been. How painful past mistakes can be, eh?
