I hate this damn island, seems like everytime I come here something bad happens in my family. The first time I came here (July 03) my daughter was molested and they sent me home because they were afraid I was going to hurt myself or somebody else. (Biggest mistake they ever made considering I tryed to kill myself when I got home) Now this time I am here and I find out my last living grandparent dies. (Seems I am destined never to enjoy Hawaii). My grandfather is the only real reason I am here. I guess everybody has somebody they look up to when they are growing up and want to be just like them, hence me being here, he retired out of the Navy as an ENC, I am getting out of the Navy as an EN2. He was the most proudest person I ever saw when I told him that I was going to join and be an EN, he tried telling me how the Navy is, but I had to tell him that was his Navy, this was a different navy. Growing up he never really talked about his navy times much, but when I would call him from port to port I would find out about the things he did in the same ports almost 40years earlier. I don't know what I am going to do, my family has no reason to stay in California anymore, so I think they are going to move to NC, but I don't know for sure. At least Jen is there for me. Fuck this damn Island and I can't wait to leave and not have to come back ever, and I mean ever again!
