Packing is so... SYMBOLIC. I never realized it until I had to try and pack my life away for a year. The process of packing means a "change" or some sort of new beginning. Whether you are packing an over night bag to visit a friend for the weekend, packing a suitcase for your much deserved week long vacation to the caribbean, or packing those two duffel bags, a ruck suck, and an assault bag for that year long deployment, they all are the beginning of something different. As I finish up my packing and get ready to board the plane out of here, I'm already looking forward to next year's packing… the packing that will bring me home.
