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!!!
