well its late, i cant sleep, and that breeds one thing, thoughts on life. And when one thinks about their life how can it be described? Mine oddly seems to be death. My job is to kill, destory, cause pain, cause death. Im supposed to call in artillery rounds on living things. Cause heartbeats to stop, cause lives to end. hopefully it will be ( Read more... )

Derek... you rock! I miss you and can't wait until you get to visit. I mean being with you in Texas was great, but it would be awesome to have you back in Maryland. Love you!!!

Your words are strong and, as I was reading, I didn't get the impression you wanted to die. I took it as a flash of the honor and courage you hope to show in the face of adversity.

I can only wish you the best of luck and hope that, when you're back, we can have another conversation that drifts into ungodly hours of the night. One that may have no meaning to others, but means more than the world to us.

Does this sound too touchy-feely? I think it might. Anyway...I had heard everyone wants to rule the world.

Derek...

Come home...

::tear::

But seriously...best of luck as always. Things on the homefront will be held together, waiting for you. I have nothing but the utmost confidence in you, that you will show strength in the heat of the moment, that you will display courage on the field of battle, that you will come back home safe, along with your brothers in arms. If anyone can do it, you can.

God speed.
