And Life Must Go On

My brother leaves for Japan in the morning. I spent all of yesterday with him, but of course that's not enough. The end of vacation/someone elses vacation always seems to sneak up on me, maybe it's the same for you. At the start I always think I'll have plenty of time, and then as it gets closer to the end there's no where near enough time. Hopefully he only has about 10 more months before he can come home on terminal leave, one of his head people (no longer in that position) only let people have 2 weeks of TL, but the one who took over for that lady is much more lenient so we're hoping he'll let Alex save up all his time and use it for TL next holiday season. The best part for me is that I have 2 weeks of vacation this year and I plan on taking one in late spring/early summer of next year so we can spend some time together and catch up on stuff. Maybe the anticipation will slow down this year a little bit instead of it flying by like last year. No? Yeah, I didn't think so either. Well, life must go on, and I must accept it, so in the meantime I'll keep praying he stays safe and comes home to us safely this fall. Until next time.
