Too little Too Late
Woke up at 8 this morning and saw I had a message waiting on my phone. Tyler texted me at 12:30 am. It read "leaving at 7 this morning. Gonna be there?"
A) I was in bed at 12:30 am. Did he really expect me to receive that message?
B) Gonna be WHERE? Airport? Wayne's? Flight leaves at 7? Leaving Wayne's at 7? Got me..
C) I don't hear from you in a week and I get a last minute message in the wee hours of the morning that you're leaving in 6 1/2 hours??
D) I didn't even wake up by 7 am sheesh...
I assumed he was gone as of Monday. He'd told me when he got here that he had to be BACK on Tuesday. I even told him I was disappointed because I'd not get to see him leave, figuring he'd leave Monday and I worked 1:30 - 10:30.
Now I did call Holly on my lunch at 6pm Monday just to see if she knew anything. I ended up hanging up after 3 rings because I thought I don't want to put her in the middle. If he can't let me know what's going on that's his deal.
She had called back while I had my phone off at work. I snuck a quick call back to her and I was informed that she is not even at home, had heard Ty was getting married that day (Monday) and that Dad was at home waiting for his call. She thought Ty was leaving Tuesday. This told me a few things.
A) She and Wayne knew his plans
B) He was still home and had not contacted me.
Now I ask you who wrote to him every single day at boot? Who sent him stamps & phone cards? Who made arrangements for him to have Christmas with a family? Who spent 2 weekends traveling back & forth and finding boxes and packing all his stuff he wanted in Seattle and mailing it? Who sent him Superbowl stuff when the Steelers won? Did I buy myself a superbowl shirt? No. But I sent him one. Who spent hours making music CD's for him to enjoy? Who sent care packages? Who offered and sent money when he needed it? Who is the only one to drive 16 hours to Ft Benning for mid cycle break and only get to see him for 45 minutes because that's how badly I wanted to see him & support him? His dad? No. His girl? No.
This is all the stuff I wanted to b*tch about in my last blog. But it sounds like whining or maybe ppl may think he didn't ask her to do all that. Nope, he didn't. But that's what moms do, right? And in return moms usually get some respect, thanks, considerate behavior. Well, I don't feel I got much of that during this leave. I am sorry I did not get to say goodbye. But I contacted him several times thoughout the week and got no response. To text me in the middle of the night & expect me to chow up somewhere a few hours later is not my idea of letting me know what's going on. It's really a shame. And I am very, very hurt. I could barely function at work Monday after actually waking up crying out loud in my sleep. Cried on my way to work. Cried at work. As far as I knew he was already gone and I'd not gotten so much as a phone call. That's just inconsiderate. And knowing that his dad & sister were aware of his plans only hurts more. How much effort does it take to make a call? Not a whole hell of a lot, not if you really care.
