The other day, I was at a friends house, watching my friend pack up his sea bag. I sat and watched as he methodically went through every sock, every shirt, folding them perfectly, and stuffing the bag to the top. He is leaving tomorrow. It got me to thinking about my life, about my past. I miss the Navy. I wish I could be packing up to go. I know it sounds stupid to say that, but its the truth.
Thank you to all of my friends out there, all of my family, who have served or are serving. Thank you to all of those who have died. Cristof, Eric, not a day goes by that I don’t thank you for sacrificing your life for your country. I love you guys. I miss you guys, and I carry you with me everyday. To my father, I love you, I am proud of you. I know its been a long time since weve seen each other, but no matter where you are out there on the sea, know that I am thinking of you and trying to live a life that you would be proud of.
To all my other friends in the services, I thank you again for everything. You are all my heroes. You are they that I aspire to emulate. Even those of you in the air force. haha… sorry I couldn’t resist, please come kick my ass Natalia and Julie… You all know that if I could be out there with you, I would. Don’t ever doubt yourselves or the job that you do.
I don’t know what else to say… I’m done with this rant for now.
