Dealing

One of my best friends ever will be leaving in about 2 months for a year in Korea with the army, and even though I've known this was happening since May, I'm still very much not okay with it. Greg is honestly like the big brother that I never had. He can call me out when I'm being stupid and can be one of the greatest supporters in the world. With his training and stuff, we haven't seen a whole lot of each other since Fall semester of '07, but I've always known that he was a phone call away...or at the very least, I'd be seeing him within a few months. But this is totally different.

I don't know...I feel selfish. I'm tired of people telling me that it could be worse (which it can be in the future...something I can't even get my mind around right now), but really, I know they're right. But I still know that I'm going to suck at this. I'm trying to get myself ready for this...I know it's coming, and there's no guarantees that he'll be back stateside for very long at all before he gets orders to go someplace else. I know that he is happier where he is than where he'd be if he hadn't gone active duty. But, damn, couldn't he have been stationed someplace closer...someplace where I can afford to visit him. I know I'm whining...he's the one that needs to go and leave his family, and his gf and family will probably be more affected by this... But I also know for sure that I am not ready...and may never be.
