I'm back in Iraq, I have yet again a new outlook on life. two friends gone, and two that walked away virtually unharmed. seeing the holes in my buddies clothes as well as the shrapnel they pulled from his bag which was on the roof of the truck brought new light to how precious life is. I dont know how to really deal with the situation and I want to be there for both families but I'm afraid I wont be able to be there enough. I mean for one its not so bad (it is but I dont know how else to put it) no kids together but was just married and she wants all of us to be with her and hang out since its the closest thing she has to her husband and the other who is just 20 and about to have a baby which she is going to have to raise on her own. I'm afraid that I may shut these people out when I get back and never talk to them again, and thats what scares me. I just hope I dont do that, and my mind has just gone completely blank.......well you get the jist of it....hopefully
