On the morning of AUG 20th 2008 I recieved a REDCROSS message telling me my mother died.
With all the negative emotion I had for my mother over the years I still Loved my mother. I broke down, and I wept. The last time I had seen my mother in person was Dec of 2005. I was to return home this Dec for vacation and see my family. Instead I returned home two days after I found out about my mother. Many of my friends serving on the same ship as I were very helpful in this time of grief.
I went through some of my old journals, I found an entry , at the time me and my mother had a fight, questioning if I would weep for my parents at there death. Nearyl three years after that entry I made another. I wept, like I had never before. Even though I think I can control my emotions. Considering myself to be cold, I am not when it comes to my family. So if anybody reads this, do me a favor go and hung some of your family members. Doesn't have to be your parents, sibling or even blood family. Many of my friends I consider family. Just give them a hung and be happy you have that much.
