Well it's a somber day... Another Canadian Solider was killed in action, while 2 others were wounded. It starts to hit home, when it was someone from Edmonton, and knowing that your loved one is over there right now, in harms way... I'm sitting here at my desk, a little shaken, thanking God that it wasn't Rod, or any of his crew. But my heart goes out to the family who lost their family member.
Rod called last night, told me he was heading out... Not sure what he meant by that, but I think I have a pretty good idea. We talked for a few minutes, discussed when to purchase plane tickets to fly back home for his HLTA. All was good. I was in amazingly high spirits. I went about my evening, booked the plane tickets, then off to bed I went.
I'm spending Friday evening with Mel, she's the wife of one of Rod's friends who is over there serving our country. We are going to carve pumpkins and have dinner. I got a package ready to send over, and she's getting one ready. Tried to call the MFRC, to see if I can drop off there or at the post office, but there was no answer... Even sent an email to them... no response... so i guess I'll just drop it off tomorrow morning on my way to work, maybe i'll have to be a bit late... who knows...
So i'm sitting here at work, bored out of my tree... it's slow right now... Wish I could be doing something productive, intead of reverting back to reading the headlines, and thinking of what Rod is doing... I hope he and all the guys stay safe... I want you all to come back home...
