Is this the last moment we have together? How about now?
I am not thrilled at the moment. My brother has leave for 4 days to come back home before he's shipped out to Iraq. I was trying to figure out if I could go home to see him one last time before he goes.
Brad's dad is coming through during that time on his way to OK City for a training school, and I could go with him and them come back home a week later when he comes back through. But I don't think they would let me off of a week of work and I can't afford to miss that much work anyhow.
Josh and Heather are also planning to do a mini-honeymoon during that time since they didn't get one after the wedding.
Thought that if his leave fell on a weekend, I could drive over there just for the weekend, and at least see him one more time.
Well, people had the nerve to make the comment that it wouldn't really be worth it to go all that way and only see him for one meal or something. Hello!
This is my brother we're talking about! Families do what they can for each other.
If he were to go to Iraq and not come home, and I missed that one last meal together...
Don't they understand that?
We've got to treasure every moment we have with our loved ones. Because you never know when it will be the last.
