Today I am angry. Angry that good men and women are torn away from their loved ones to fight wars. This hits home for me, because my best friend Beth has met the man of her dreams and future husband and he is a Captain in the U.S. Army. After his 15 day break, he returns for his last and FINAL!! deployment to Afghanistan where he will continue to work for the betterment of Afghanistan and prepare for the next Taliban fighting season (winter is a lull in fighting as Taliban retreat during the inclement conditions to their caves). I am trying to concentrate on my thesis, but find it hard to not want to drive the 20 some blocks across town and distract Bethers with everything I can think of. Andy, safe travels, we are always thinking of you.
em, i'm so touched. cue (more!) tears, but in the best possible way. honestly couldn't get through this "shitty war" without you...we love you!
