Disappointment
Well I had a big disappointment over the weekend. Last Wednesday my friend and I were driving back from Spokane, and I got a phone call from my FRG leader stating that Rob and I had been picked to have a VTC (video teleconference). I immediately got a gut instinct telling me it wasn't going to happen.
The last time I had talked to Rob, he was getting ready to leave the FOB (forward operations base) and go out on missions for an extended period of time. And I knew that he wasn't due back yet. But still I woke up Saturday morning and got the boys ready to go, I never told them where we were going though, I didn't want them to get disappointed.
We arrived at the VTC center here on post, and when I walked in the 1st Sgt was there. I told him I had a gut feeling that Rob didn't know about the VTC and that I didn't even think he was there. Well after sitting there for about 20 minutes he came out "Amie, I'm so sorry but Sgt Hodgin isn't there" and all I could say was, yeah I really figured that, but I thought it was best I show up just in the slight chance he was there.
While I never really got my hopes up, I have to admit, I was still disappointed. I emailed Rob and asked him if he even knew about it. This was the response I got from him.
"Yeah, I was told that it was canceled before we came out here. I never told you about it cause I was told that it was canceled. I was also looking forward to it. I hope that the boys were not too disappointed.
Love,
Rob"
If everything goes as planned (which we all know with the military planning sucks butt) then my husband will be home for R&R soon, really soon! I had shirts made for the boys and I to wear when we pick him. I really hope he likes them.
You can see the shirts here:
