the first 24 hours!!!

Comment Published at 02:2302:239 comments9 comments32 Visits32 VisitsReport

Haven't heard from jd for 24 hours..... the first 24 are always the hardest. God knows how many times I've checked my phone today...... far too many to count! This is the hardest part of him being away. It's amazing how a simple txt can make all the fears disappear........ I'm hanging on for that txt!

Some of you may of seen on the news that a deckhand went missing off a trawler. I saw the report this morning and at first they didn't say where.... my heart stopped. I sat on the edge of the couch literally waiting for the next news report. My whole body was tense and my heart... well I'm not sure how fast it was beating if at all. Luckily for me it happened here on the Sunshine Coast. I cried with relief, then I cried for the man's family. The weather here has been shocking and the sea's have been really rough. Maybe people will realise now that the men out there are risking their lives to catch the seafood that a lot of us love. Maybe people will realise that it's not easy for the loved ones on land have a tense time waiting for their safe return. I know for me, I have a lot of respect for the guys that are out there fishing.....

Now it's back to waiting and hoping for the txt. The weather hasn't been to flash up north either..... they're probably just out of phone range for the time being.... still this kind of waiting is really, really tough....... gonna be a long night tonight!!!

fi xoxo

 I'm sure everything is fine, but nothing helps, does it? It's always toughest not knowing what's going on.

Hang in there lil' buckaroo!

It must be very stressful when you hear news like this and not knowing who it is.  Sometimes we watch the Deadliest Catch on fox and it's about the blokes on the fishing trawlers except it is a US program - still, full on viewing.

Hope JD is safe and you get that txt soon.

You know what - I thought of you as soon as I heard that report so I can only imagine what you went through.  I bet you are so relieved.  I checked on you as soon as logged in here.   Rach x

Re: the first 24 hours!!!

Hey Fi, Hope you get that text real soon. I can't even begin to imagine what it was like to have to wait to hear from your loved ones. The closet I could come is expecting Shayne home at a certain time only for him to not turn up and he doesn't answer his phone. He normally rings if he's gonna be late. Wishing you all the best and I know you will hear from him as soon as his phone comes into service again. xx. I would send ya a text but its not the same. lol
