The day has finally come for Doug to get on the plane. All week long you just wait for the day to arrive, hope it comes quick because the wait is sometimes unbearable. Last night I realized it did come to fast, and it was our last night together for a year.I found myself wishing we had more time, that it had NOT come as quick!
When I got up this morning I kept hearing the lyrics, "I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on...." Granted I don't even like that song, or recall who sings it, not sure all the lyrics apply - but it runs through my head this morning like a broken record!
We have a partner desk, and each morning we sit across from each other, talk, laugh, drink coffee. It is the little things that you miss, not just the absence of their presence.
As we prepare for our last morning together for about a year, the mood is somber, but we try to not let it consume us, but to enjoy the last few hours.
He will leave today and hopefully arrive at his destination by Sunday. It's not as easy as getting on a plane and landing at your destination - for these guys, it can take days and sometimes a week or more.
You just pray for safe travels, and for the year to fly by...
We love you Doug <3
