So i have this friend.. a new friend. He is so very sweet and polite and just a joy to be around. He gets my jokes...he calls me Bonqueshia....he knows what "poont" means...and he kicks my ass on Mortal Kombat! And on Sunday he is being shipped off to the desert! This is his second time there. The first tour wasnt so much fun for him. He was actually in Maxim-a picture that one would only hope was fictional.
My dad was in the Navy- but I never really understood the magnitude of war- until now the thought of possibly never seeing someone again. Especially someone who I have yet to get to know. It sucks!
So Im freakin a little. And he doesnt want to go. Which is worse bc the countdown is on. Poor thing!

I know it is tough, but the best thing you can do is just be there for him to be a sounding board for. Keep in touch with him and write back and forth. Giving him a piece of home is sometimes the best gift you can give a soldier. Hope this advise helps.
ReplyDeleteyour friend Kat is right.
ReplyDeleteSend him care packages! I have some great ideas if you care to hear. My favorite is make a letter using many pieces of construction paper but use candy bars and other candies for some of the words. Something fun and different.
It is a hard thing seeing people off not knowing what is to come. I am thankful Curtis has made it home safely each and every time while always thinking of my close friend growing up who was not so lucky. My biggest advice is to pray and be encouraging. Love you lady and will keep this friend in my thoughts and prayers.
