It's pushing on a year now, almost a year since my brother was deployed over seas to Iraq. For a while after he first left I was devastated, and so worried. I hated that I couldn't be near him, or talk to him anytime I wanted. I never thought that I would have to deal with feelings like that. For anyone who knows us, I'm sure you know we haven't always gotten along the greatest. But I still loved him, and I now i was really going to miss him. The first few months of him being gone were so hard. I couldn't hear anyone talk about him, about the war overseas, or even just mention "Iraq", without bursting into tears. I wrote alot during that time. I guess it was the only way I could deal with the emotions. I didn't feel like anyone else quite understood, and I hate crying in front of people. This is something that i started writing while he was away.... Advertisement:
Come home now, Put your arms around my neck and hold me again. Your a part of everything in life that I've ever been. You helped me Find my step, you helped me find my head, and brother, you even tucked me into bed. I owe you my heart, you filled it with love, and when it got broken you fixed it all up. Remember our childhood, for now it is past. I wish we could go back, it went by so fast. I'm not really sure what happened, but that was the last page I wrote. I can't seem to find the words to finish it now, but maybe I will sometime. Right now, all I can think about is him finally coming home. He is due to come home in just a few weeks. I wish with all of my heart that he never had to go. I wish that he never had to see the horrible things he did. I am sorry he had to spend so much time away from his wife, and the rest of his family. Yet, now that the year has past I think I have learned alot about my brother that I never knew before. He has become a man, a hero, and most importantly he has become my friend. I am so very proud of all he has accomplished. He is one of many of the brave soldiers that protect, our country, our freedom, our lives. He has always been an amazing big brother. He looked after me, and cared for me. He gave me something to beat up once in a while (haha). Now, side by side with other soldiers, he hass once again been there to look after me and care for me. I can't beat him up anymore, but he earned that peace. Brother, You are still in my prayers, as are the others who protect us. May God watch over you and protect you, the way you selflessly do for others. Come home safely. I love you, you mean the world to me. Visit Krystal's Blog
