I don't know if you like it but still I want to share it with you

~Larry~

"Are you packed?" my sister, Mia, asks through the phone. Her voice is husky with sleep, which makes sense since it's the middle of the night back home in Portland, Oregon.

"I leave tomorrow, Mia. Of course I'm not packed." She snickers. I just finished up my last debriefing meeting, my last day as an officer in the Navy. I grip the zipper of my flight uniform and sigh. "It's not right."

"I know," she says quietly. "But you're safe and whole, and you could be dead, Larry, so I'll take it."

I frown, staring at myself in the mirror as I unzip my uniform for the last time. I'll never wear it again, never pilot a plane again.

What the **** am I supposed to do now? The Navy gave me options, but if I can't fly, there's no sense in it. Flying isn't just what I do, it's who I am.

"You're overthinking," Mia says.

"I'm a pilot, Mia. This is what I love. It wasn't supposed to end like this."

"You're alive," she says.

"Am I?" I murmur, then shake my head and wince at the neck pain that still nags me from time to time. Ejecting from an F-16 will cause a crick in the neck. And a loss of an inch in height that may never return, along with an entire Naval career.

Son of a bitch.

"This has been the longest four months of our lives, Larry. We're all anxious to see you."

"I'll be home in a few days," I reply as I pull a T-shirt over my head and throw the last of my belongings in a box that the Navy will have sent to me from Italy.

I loved being in Italy for the past few years, and God knows I didn't plan to leave it like this.

But I am. Maybe Mia's right; at least I'm alive and I can walk and live a normal life.

I just can't fly.

And that's what hurts more than any injury from the crash.

"What time should I come get you from the airport?"

"No need," I reply, regretting calling my sister and waking her up. I just didn't know what else to do when I came in here and was faced with boxes and the end of a career I love. "I'll get there."

"Larry-"

"It's okay, really. I'll see you in a few days."

"Be safe," she says. "And, Larry?"

"Yeah."

"It's going to be okay."

I force a grin and a nod, though she can't see either. "Of course it is."

We say our good-byes and I sit on the edge of the bed, scrub my hands over my face, and take a deep breath. I hope she's right.
