Sorry for not writing for so long. Ive been very busy with various things.....its been rough
I found out last week that my uncle will be sent to Iraq very soon. Im very very very upset about this. I found out with my mother standing over the kitchen sink, bawling, and harldy able to stand up. She had just got off the phone with him, and she said that her heart was breaking all over again. She has all ready gone through the death of her father, and two of her brothers, and she said that she doenst feel like she can lose another family member. I just stood there in shock, disgust, and in fear.
Granted, hes the one uncle I dont know too well, (One lives in Cedar Rapids that I see quite often, two died from AIDS in the early 90s, and Maurice is my second dad) and with him and his family (my aunt and 3 cousins, which I miss terrinbly) moving al over the US with the Marines stationing him several places, (they're in HAWAII now, so so so jealous, but I did visit them last Christmas) I hardly get to see them. But I do love him and am terrified about what could happen in the next 11 months with him over there.
He shouldnt have to go there. He shouldnt have to participate in this war. Isnt it HIGH TIME that the troops be coming BACK, NOT BEING SENT OVER THERE?????? Every month that this stupid war has been going on, Ive thanked God for not sending Mick over there. Everytime I talked to him on the phone, I would realize how glad I was that he was still in the US. I dont know how my grandma can go through this. Her husband, my grandpa that I never met, was basically killed by Vietman due to Agent Orange. He had hallucinations, delusions, and got really really sick with cancer and died a horrible death. I dont want my grandma to go through that again. Shes one of the most special people in my life, and I cant bear to see her go through that. She mentioned that she could file for hardship to the Marines, claiming that her husband died in Nam and that Mick's the only son she has left. Then she said that she has to be stronger than this and go through it whatever happens. *the reason that I love her so much*
Hes leaving soon and the earliest hell be back is June 2. Thats the day before his daughters high school graduation
