It's nights like this when I realize how far from home I'll be.  So many connections are gone, cut by tragedy, time, and apathy.  What I really want right now is a drink; I want to feel the warm kiss of burning sweetness in my throat.  And when I grimace, I'll know that in a moment all the doubts will vanish.  I don't want to think about anything

Pat, it's completely understandable to be anxious in many ways about leaving home. Trust me, even though you know for my own reasons I have apprehensions about the military in general, I know you made the right decision for yourself. You have thought long and hard and you sought the advice of those closest to you, then you made your decision. It's going to be good, but there will be times when you will be sad it's taking you away from other things. I remember my ex, who was all hardcore about the Air Force ever since he was a child, calling me a month into boot camp crying hysterically and he was afraid he made the wrong decision. In the end, he would never have given it up. If you ever need anything, let me know. I am always here for you. Also, write me when you are in boot camp. I will totally send you letters all the way. Email me your email address and I will give you my snail mail address. Horshac@hotmail.com *hug* It's going to be good, Patty Pat.
