I probably burned a bridge slightly tonight by not bringing my friend's mini-van back on time tonight...which kind of sucks, but I had my reasons.
About two years ago a there was a former co-worker who really got along with me famously, and we're still the closest of friends to this day.
Thing being is that her kids think I'm the coolest thing since sliced bread, lol! Her oldest son, is a marine, and is getting shipped over to Iraq soon. Anyways he was in town for the weekend. So I hooked up with him and some of his friends. Stitch is still down, so I asked to use my friend's minivan to get there. I told them I'd be back at ten but, things ran a little later than that. Two hours to be exact. Which has made the owners a little hot under the collar.
But it's hard to walk away from a 19 year old tells you that, he thinks as one of his coolest friends ever, and says "You would've made a great step-father. Even my little brothers have said it." There was more, he confided in me that he is excited, but even more scared, but he WILL do his duty. Which I tried be cool about...
But then he gave me his sword, the one he received for graduation...
I don't think he's expecting to came back from this one. I can't show any kind of anger or worry, because that wouldn't be fair to him, and I can't talk his mum about it either. She's trying to be a strong "Marine's Mom".
So here I am scared for a 19 year old boy, whom I have this tight bond with. because no one else can be...
I posted this just to get some of it off of my chest and vent. I'll deal with my friend tomorrow, whatever happens there happens, right now I have more important things on my mind...
