So this past weekend was an interesting one... My bestest of all buddies left this morning to go for training in the army because he is going (voluntarily) to Afghanistan in a couple of months 
I am really sad to see him go and we spent the entire weekend partying together. It was fun, but really bittersweet as well. I mean, we all knew that at the end of the weekend, he would be going... God knows what can happen over there... We've all known for a long time that he was going, but it truly sucks that he is gone now....
We have been best friends since we were 3 years old and we are truly brothers. I love him so much and we have one of those bonds where we both know that no matter what, our friendship is impossible to break. When he first told me that he was going there, I was kinda pissed and upset, because, personally, I don't know why our country's military is still doing over there... With time though, I just realized that he wanted to do this, because it was something he needed to prove to himself. As his best friend, I realized that it was pointless to be upset and what he really needed was for me to support his decision... so that is the course I took.
His girlfriend is my girlfriend's best friend as well. I feel terrible and sad for her the most... It must be really hard for her to have to go the next year by herself and risk something bad happen to him. My intention is to be there as much as possible for her and do whatever it is that she wants me to do, because that is what he would want me to do. It will be very difficult to go an entire year without having him around. We have gone through so much crazy shit together... He's only left today and I already really miss him. I am comforted though by the fact that he is an amazing person and he is so smart and knows his job so well. I am confident that he will be fine... It is just annoying to see him off and to see his family and his gf so sad and worried.
He is really brave and he has told me that the main reason he is doing this is because he wants to secure his and his gf's financial future together... Like, c'mon!!!!!!!!! Can this be more movie-ish!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Urrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, I realize that it will be therapeutic for me to express myself about this while he is away. Therefore, don't be surprised if my blogs mention this over the next year...
I am out!
