Rich returned to (civilian) work on Monday. We are so blessed and fortunate that he had a job to return to following his deployment. Just before he deployed the company he works for was bought by another company, some of the key players have changed and roles were changed/moved/disrupted. Until Monday it was unclear exactly what he would be returning to. He was ready, nervous and restless Sunday night and didn't sleep well. Kind of like the first day of school...same people but now you're all in a different grade, may not have classes together and new teachers.
He spent a couple of days just getting acclimated to the changes, doing the 'welcome back' conversations with his friends and going through his work email that had accumulated 2,000 emails in the past year. Today he got confirmation of his job/project (not necessarily what he had hoped for), but it'll be okay and what role he will be taking. Along with the confirmation came a round trip ticket leaving Monday for the week-long business trip. We were a bit disappointed that he will have to travel so soon (as we know there will be a great deal of travel involved); but at least this trip won't last a year!
Looks like we are back to Life...back to reality!
