Here is a sample email I got the other day from my little brother! Its enough to make me want to cry my eyes out and MAKES ME SOOO ANGRY also!!!
Hey Chrissy,
Yeah well I am so done with this hell hole. Yeah it sucks but i am so beyond caring anymore. I cannot complain anymore and no one can do anything for anyone around here. This place is horrible and it only gets worse by the day and i ma so looking forward to getting outta here some day. We dont even know when we are leaving now whatever though. SOrry I am just alittle disturbed by the complete lack of leadership right now. I will explain everything when I get home eventually one day.
Yeah we will have to wait for the tattoos too bad but we will do it. I dont know what I am going to get yet maybe a celtic cross on my forearm. I dont know yet. Me and Michelle are doing great as usual. We really wanna be back together now. You know I would only have 36 days left in country if we didnt get extended.
Well besides all the bad news I dont really have any good news. Oh I have gotten alot bigger in the gym since I have been here another goosd thing. Oh and i have also quit smoking which I am really proud of. I go through cravings like mad and i dont know how I am going to deal with the whole drinking thing but i have been real serious in the gym and I am loving the results I have been getting so I am determined to remain smoke free. Plus if I can quit over here then i can do anything. You know today was 145 degrees outside man is sucked. Oh well, I got to run chrissy. I miss you like crazy too I miss everyone and i wanna come home. A little bit longer though. Well I will talk to you soon. Love you and miss you.
Your crazy little bro.
Matt
We correspond through email because he gets it faster and can read a letter from me everyday. I like to think that it makes him a little happier to talk to someone from home everyday almost. I didn't edit his email ... we were supposed to get tattoos this summer when he came home... Michelle is his girlfriend of many years. uummm... I think everything else is self-explanatory.
(((HUGS)))) to you all! |
this letter made me cry. it brought back alot of memories. my 26 year old son came home last dec from iraq..he too was deployed alot before he went there. that letter sounded "exactly" like the letters i got from my son..I would just sit here and cry reading them as I am now. I feel so bad for the men and women still over there.
I will get a care package out thurday for him and his buddies . I always sent alot so my son could share. because believe it or not, there are alot over there who dont get anything, my son was happy to share and his buddies were happy as well. prayers going to Matt to keep him safe and to keep his spirits up
