This will be my last post for a while.
I found out my dad is dying. he has less than two weeks left. My family was not going to tell me because my dad felt that my duty was to my country. So I sit here in afghanistan, torn between doing my duty as a soldier and being a son. I will honor his wishes even though it tears my heart out not to be home with him. I have tried to be a son that he can be proud of and hoped that someday I could sit and talk with him. I have spent most of my life away from my family due to the military, and now I feel the sacrifice in the worst possible way imaginable.
Enjoy the time you can spend with your family. You never know when it is their time to go. Say the things deep in your heart, because when they are gone, then it will be too late.
