Hey baby!
I want to start by saying that I got your blog letters, and I hate you for making me tear up in front of people I work with! Not cool! I am so glad you said the things that you did. In my time out here, I have a lot of time to think of my life and where I am heading(too much time), and the only thing I wasn’t sure of was how you really felt about not just me, but about us. I wish you had said these things before I left, but am glad you let me know. I knew that most of the bad stuff you said was due to life stresses, and was in the heat of the moment, but it really feels good to know you didn’t really mean them. I love you so much and I think… no, know that you are a beautiful person, even if, at times, you don’t think so.
I am looking forward to coming home to you, and letting our love grow and mature. Remember that being there for each other isn’t just about having our affairs in order. It’s also about supporting each other in everything that we do, and speaking gently to one another, especially when we are upset, because harsh words almost never solve problems so much as make the current ones seem worse. Hopefully, through our ordeals over the past year, we will have a much more clear perspective of our hopes and dreams as individuals, as well as, as a family.
As far as my safety is concerned; you don’t have to worry about anything. We are far away from any areas that may pose a risk, we wouldn’t be targets anyhow, but we do have an excellent security force on board. I’m actually talking to people about getting on with the security detail, though that is the responsibility of deck department and not supply. We’ll see though. But like I said; no need to worry baby.
We had a rough couple of days! Lots of overtime. ______________. I feel like I lost like 10 pounds! We even worked through lunch! Supply, who doesn’t usually work on evolutions like that, got volunteered to help out, so most of them were pissed. But like I said, we got about 10 hours of overtime! Plus with our assistance the 3 day evolution was finished in 2. The cargo mate, who is the head officer in charge(and reminds me of a curly haired Bradley Cooper) gave us a special thanks, and offered to write letters of commendation for everyone in supply who helped out. We may even get a cash reward if the CO approves it, because we helped save MSC at least $200,000 or so(just spitballing, but it’s a lot of $).
Hopefully you get to read this. If you do, then the world hasn’t come to an end today! LOL!
Talk to you later baby!
Love,
Bredin
