This is my brother Richard. He was here for Christmas. He left on Tuesday to go back to Texas,after giving everyone nice long hugs and shedding a few tears. He left on Saturday for his 3rd tour in Iraq. Usually when he leaves, he is pretty machismo and doesn't show any emotion. "It's his job." This time, it was different. It could be that he is going to be a daddy in August (hopefully he can come back for the baby's birth...), or it could be that he has grown up a little (or a lot). Whatever the case is, I am grateful for all of his texts and love and the time we were able to spend together the last week and a half. His last text to me last night as he was leaving snowy and cold Bangor, Maine..."Phone going off, i love u..."
I love you too bro and pray continually for your safety! I hope you find comfort and peace of mind and relief from the feelings of loneliness and despair you feel.
