Days continue into Nights

It's been a while since I updated you. Things here have continued to go. Some days are better than others. Certain days I day dream of spending time with beautiful wife and amazing children…. I think about what they're doing and where there going, are they happy? Are they sad? The changes to my children's development are one of the things that I miss most along with spending quality time with my wife. I just have come to accept that I can't change that and I'm grateful I have such an amazing wife that is being mom and day in my absence. I miss laying in my king size bed next to my wife sharing the funny things that happened that day. Now a lot of all of this is shared through email. My wife sends me pictures and does a great job of keeping me updated on my daughter and son. At work things are going, some days are better than others. Every day that goes by where we don't lose one of our brother or sister service members is good and I'm
grateful for their safety. I will say I will not forget coming into work sitting in front of my computer and my Corporal told me that he heard OBL had been killed. I honestly was in disbelief and went to cnn.com and right there before my eyes it said it. I hope that it brings some closure to all the families that he has negatively affected during his life span. Will it change anything? I honestly feel that some other scumbag will take his place and hopefully his predecessor won't stick around as long as he did. You hope that it will disrupt this organization that never seems short on people willing to send their message of hate. Then again it's been over 10 years and we don't seem to be running out of people to put out of their misery or those that want to go out and kill innocent people. You just wonder how someone gets involved in an organization that will eventually put them in a position to not be there for their family. I don't care
what your views are, but as a Man I think that is the most important thing to be there to influence, support and love your family. Yet these extremist buy into what they are selling and are willing to go out and strap bombs or drive bomb laden vehicles into innocent men and women. I hope for change and pray for peace…. I hope you will do the same.
