We got a surprise phone call last night... from my brother! What an awesome Easter present! It gave me a sharp realization of how much I really miss him :o(
I am so so so so so happy that I got to talk to him :o) he sounded different but the same. And he was joking which made me feel good 'cause despite everything, it seems he will stay himself. He was talking about the guys he is meeting, the friends he is making. He was talking about what phase of the training he is in and whats in store for him this week and weeks to come. He was talking about what he's doing in his physical training... and he's doing well. He has been getting awards for his achievements. They actually asked him to be a part of the Airborne Unit because of his success... which would pretty much guarantee his deployment. Plus he would miss all the summer events we had planned. I hope he doesn't do it... but when there are people confronting you about it all the time... I'm sure its hard to say no. I hope this stays as a means to an end for him... the riskiest gamble of a means to an end when it involves your life.
I just want my little brother back...
