I don't know how military families do it
It's day two without any news on Wayne. No way of knowing if it's just one of those standard times where he goes for days without sending out an email because of missions, or if the worst has happened. There is no real way to describe the sinking feeling deep down inside. The two pilots that died have been assigned number 1929 and 1930 as their casualty numbers. What's worse as you watch the Causality list, it keeps growing as you watch. It's a terrible feeling to know those are human beings like myself having their lives extinguished. The website that keeps up with all this information, says the Pentagon updates this information randomly, so there is no way of knowing if the worst has happened or when we will know. I keep hoping to get a call from Dianne that an email has come in from Wayne, but that doesn't change the fact that somewhere else in America that some other family and group of friends didn't get the an email saying, "Hey, I'm ok." It's a terrible torture that no human being should ever have to experience.

Call you it what you will, but my "feyness" tells me Wayne is listening to some Rock music in a mess hall somewhere. I would feel it, if he were gone. I have an uncanny ability to do that when it comes to my lifelong buds.

Hopefully that is the case.
