One of those pictures was my niece. We didn't have a clue, as she didn't tell us about it.

I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm sitting here crying like a baby myself....
Part from just seeing her and feeling the concern and love I feel for her and my other family members in Iraq...And gratitude to feel so fortunate that my loved ones are at the moment alive while they're there...Plus a bit of fear that considering how many loved ones in our family that is over there, that the odds that some may come home like those lost and shown in the video.
I'm proud of them, their dedication, their willingess to risk their lives and serve our country. Yet the aunt/sister/cousin/friend in me wishes to the gods I could wrap them up in my love and protect them from the cruelness of the world still. | |
