| Happiness does come at a price Sorry for the depressing title. Didn't know what else to use. Feeling kinda guilty right now. Here I am floating around on my little cloud because of Ryan and I get a phone call from my little brother Travis. He is in Iraq. His stay over there has been extended. He will be there for another 9 months. He was due to come home for X-mas. We didn't want to tell our dad cause we wanted it to be a surprise to him to have T-Rav home for X-mas. T-Rav is the brother that I am the closest to out of my 3 brothers. I miss him terribly. He doesn't have access to the net or the phone very often anymore. It sure was nice to hear his voice though. We talked for about 45 min. Then he had to go. He was telling me about some of the stuff going on over there and it horrifies me. Just want to be able to give my little bro a hug ya know. I told him about Ryan. Before T-Rav left for the Army he hung out with the same group as me and has been out with Ryan alot. He is really happy for me. Got Ryans email addy and phone number from me so he can call him also. I think he is going to warn him to take care of his sis. Anyway, dont take happiness for granted. |

I hope your future bro in law is lucky and gets to come home. Travis, my brother has been there for almost 2 years now. They keep extending him. He came home for 3 months about a year ago and they sent him back over. Its sucks. I dont get how they keep taking guys that have been there already and sending them back. Why not send fresh troops?? Or get them all the hell outta there?? | |

| Thanks so much. I appreciate it. Its amazing at how affected families are by this war. My dad used to be able to relax and watch TV but since my brother has been over there he is constantly busy, he always tells me that by keeping busy he doesnt have time to sit and worry. I feel for my dad going through this. I mean. I am the oldest and my dad has raised us kids as a single dad since I was 11. There are 4 of us, me and 3 brothers, he never dated, just finally started. He didn't feel that it was right to date cause his commitment was to his kids and raising them right. I just hate to see my dad going through this. He has gotten more gray hair since my brothers have been gone. I also have a brother in afganistan. |

| Ohh, sorry to hear that kelly. i hope he comes home safe. My cousin is in the airforce. i think he's been over there three times. He said it is pretty scarry, because he does most of the mechanical work, but then he had to go on some type of duty. I think a couple of his buddies got shot. After he got off duty he told his mom that he wanted to run and scream like a girl she said i don't blame you!. it is scary stuff. Best wishes to your brother kelly

| Oh Hon... I feel your pain. My Fiance is in Iraq too . He has been there for a Year and A half and they keep extending him too. It is horrible to live like this, everyday I worry about him. He can't call often, I have not heard from him in like 2 weeks. I hate this! I just hope that he is able to come home safe.
