so I feel like such a jerk. I volunteer at walter reed everyother Sunday. Every weekend I email my DB my plans so he'll know when I'm gonna be able to answer the phone. This past week his team has been going on missions daily and tho the last 4 months have been pretty calm starting this past week things have really been heating up for him and his team. He hadn't been on email since last weekend. I did talk to him for about 40 mins on Weds and he sounded tired but good. So he called today while I was voluneering and it was really busy. I picked up because I needed to hear his voice and hear him say everything was OK. But, then I had to go. He was so disappointed. I felt awful!! So now I sent him this really long emotional email but my guess is he won't be back on email until next weekend...I feel soooo guilty but I didn't know what to do. Its been so easy because the past few months it wasn't a big deal for me to say I can't talk now. But, feel like I can't take his safety for granted anymore RRRRRRRRRR....I feel like crap!

Situations like that suck! He knows that you have stuff to do too. At least he knows you're keeping busy, though.

He will understand I'm sure. He knows that you volunteer and I'm sure that he understands that you're busy. He'll check his email when he can and it won't be something he'll hold against you.

It sucks to not get real phone calls though :hugs

aww dont feel bad! you answered and he knows you took time out to do that when you really were busy, he understands im sure. I understand though completely about not wanting to take their safety for granted, but i dont think you are doing that at ALL!

I'm sorry that happened hun but at least it was for a good cause. I'm sure he underdstands :yes :hugs

oh, I'm sorry! I'm sure he's not upset or anything like that. Jus keep up with your "phone dates" and letting him know when you'll be too busy to talk. he'll call soon, don't worry!
