As most of you already know, yesterday my DF's grandmother passed away from a long term illness.

Well today he calls me to let me know, that he's talked with his Chain of Command, and gotten the okay to come home for the funeral.

He's getting a flight into Savannah to pick me up, then we're headed to Amarillo Texas for the funeral.

I feel so bad cause I am happy. :arg

I've been beating myself up over this for hours, and I still hate myself for feeling so happy about seeing him again.
I shouldn't be feeling this way, but I cant help it. :sigh

He's going to call me later and let me know the plans!

Should I be feeling this way? :confused

SHITTT i would be ecstatic!

DON'T FEEL ABOUT ABOUT IT!!!

the situation is bad, but damn the entire situation is bad (him being over there in the first place)


Getting to hear from him period, is a blessing

getting to SEE HIM...wow. that is just GREAT!

you are happy that you get to see him, not that his grandmother is dead big difference. there is nothing wrong with being happy to see your man!

I know, but I just hate the situation.
I just wish it was under better terms then this.

Take The Good With The Bad Girl is all I have to say (-8

sorry about his grandma, it is bittersweet yes... but you are most definitely allowed to feel happy about getting to see him!

it sucks but I don't think that you can help being happy to see your man. Obviously it is under a dark cloud and there wont be tons of balloons but I bet he is just as happy to see you. don't feel bad but I wouldn't recommend doing cartwheels either ;)

you are happy that you get to see him, not that his grandmother is dead big difference. there is nothing wrong with being happy to see your man!

:yes

You shouldn't feel guilty at all...it isn't like you are happy his grandmother passed away. I'm sure he is really excited to see you as well, although I'm sure he wishes it were under different circumstances as well. Take the good with the bad and enjoy your time with him...he'll need you.

be happy you get to see him! that is ok!!! also, you will be able to support him in the loss of his grandmother...be happy for that too!!! :hugs

it is bittersweet, but there is no reason why you shouldn't be happy to see your DF! I'm sure you are the best medicine for him right now!

I agree with the other ladies. Will he still be able to take R&R? I always wondered how that worked.

I'm not sure if this is going to take days away from his R&R in August or not. We've hardly discussed it.

He called me last night, and said their dragging their feet getting him out of there, so the chance of him not even coming here to see me, is pretty real.

My cloud has finally dropped.
