my brother
In life some live but the moment, others live in the moment. While today can come and yesterday is gone, the ones that cease the day and do not let it get away from them truly live. One is graced Gods gift of friendship. Ones to hold you in your darkest hours, and currese you in the highest moments of life. A man can sit there alone with no one to hold, no one to touch. But he knows one is watching over him, yet it be the Lord himself, or his guardian angel, one is being watched. The moment in life is a beat of a heart, the blink of an eye. A pulse of a human heart is so fast and so holy. You “look around and the moment is gone.” (Kansas - dust in the wind) A friend is a gift that one can never repay. The heart of a friendship is unlike anything else in life. Both as one know what the other is thinking, how they feel, what they want, and what the need. A band that is so close it is indestructible. Through fights and battles, the honesty and loyalty remain. You can go forever without speaking but when you reunite its like not a moment has gone by that you have not been together. Again it is one beat of a drum. The man pears around a corner but he is not alone; his friend, his other half is right behind. You are together no matter what. And as life has its ways and one does part you’ll always remember those times that you spent together, from the fishing holes, the movies, those parties and times at the beach. You remember all as such as if it was yesterday and you look around as if they just occurred. Friendship is a true endowment, something that can never be taken. You never have to say anything, it is thought through the air, the other knows what is going through that mind, that heart, and that soul. Nobody else understands what is going on. Its like a jigsaw puzzle that no one can put together. Together you finish all. You over come all obstacles together. You unite as brothers. In the Marines you sit with brothers that gone through all you have, and will continue to do as such. But as that one friendship from the homeland or where one is originally from. I can’t begin to put into words where I stand or what my brother, my friend has done for me and how much it means; in other words I can put into words on the feelings and the way things do go.
To look around and to have the feeling I am alone is the scarcest thing in the world. But then I wake and remember that I have that brother, that other half back where I came from. You can’t do what you did back home. It just is not the same without your other half and you wish they could be right there beside you as you journey through-out life. This is highly impossible, as one grows old and finds love and receives the gift of love with a woman he completes Gods puzzle of life. One will grow, and depart on where they are from but he will not lose the memories and the touch on where he was, what he did and how he did it. From sitting on the porch, to late nights having a time as a kid. He looks back from the window of life and sees the times he spent with the ones he cared about. Then he looks through the screen of the television and sees the tape of his life…. The times he spent that meant so much to his heart. While others were doing their thing, he was with his brother doing theirs. He has no regret cause of what means.
The Lord and Angels can only do so much here on Earth: the others fill the space. From talking and joking, to driving and walking. Writing these words that no one else will ever likely read is pointless. But to publish seems to be embarrassment; what am I to do… I am so confused and in despite that one will want to read this.
Cory, my brother, I’d like to thank you brother for all you’ve done for me. You’ve been one of my best friends. Over and over, you’ve been there in my darkest hours, and also in the brightest. Thank you brother. We have many memories together, from fishing, to playing pool, drives to the beach. I truly appreciate everything brother. Brothers love…
In closing life is like a roller coaster. Ups and downs, rises and falls. What I am I to expect. Expect the unexpected. Scream as the falls come and as the rises come back take time to relax and enjoy the ride. Yet do not take things for granite cause you never know when it shall be over. In the life I lead as a Infantry man I am going to see combat, wither in Iraq, Afghanistan. I will be somewhere. The fact if I come home or not is to the Lord up above. He created this roller coaster I am on, its still being built. Take it all for it is worth and never let anything go for the price of complacent. You never know when it can or will be taken away…..
