Separation

So Holly and I have only been apart for about a week, and she is a strong woman who normally fairs perfectly well without me. This time around however, she has had the worst string of bad luck ever! The moment I touched down on the east coast she calls me to inform me that our daughter has a large lump on her bum which turned out to be MRSA. Holly herself had just gotten over a case of this right before I left. So they end up spending 3 days in the hospital while my baby girl is poked, prodded, stabbed and suffering through this. MRSA is no joke either. So they just get home and suddenly Holly's bumps return. Awesome. Now she is most likely going to have to have them lanced again but all of our friends are either sick, cracking mentally or somehow unable to help. I need to be there for my family but this was an unprecedented opportunity to see my family back home in Oregon. I just need to know why all of this happens to my beautiful wife when I'm not there to help her. To make matters more difficult, there are like 50 people wanting to talk to me and spend time with me here, but Holly needs my time too especially right now. This happens every time I leave. I think my mere presence somehow stops bad things from happening. Just looking at the trends of the past, that seems to be true, regardless of how unlikely that seems. I miss my babies and my babe, but it is really a problem because of all the things that are going wrong. I mean Holly sprained her ankle and the tv broke today too. Seriously, what is going on out there?

this happens in the navy. whenever there is a deployment evrything breaks, and everyone gets sick. I think that men must carry an invisible protection against chaos...when they leave, it hits the fan.
