i take life for granted
i just watched true life: im living in iraq. ive been trying to not focus on iraq stories lately, but today i couldnt help myself. i sat and watched and i was fine in the beginning. and then they cut to this girl, she was 22 or 23, a 2nd lieutenant, and her resemblance to my sister was so scary. listening to her talk about her experience just tore at me. i broke down. it makes me so worried. an experience like that changes a person. it makes you hard. and im scared for my sister. i hate to think of what she has to see and experience.
this week is going to be the hardest since she was deployed. shes leaving iraq and moving into kuwaiit. and even though that means she's coming home soon, it also means she has to travel through rougher spots of iraq. we have no contact with her for a while, and now all i can do is just check the newspapers to make sure there are no stories that could be about her unit.
i just want her to know i love her and i miss her and i want to hug her. i want her home and safe and i don't want to have to have her or my family go through this again.
