My cousin Danny is leaving for Iraq on Thursday.

You know, as mooshy and emotional as I can be, I'm not easily upset. I don't cry very often. Things that usually really upset people don't upset me. I mean, I recognize when things suck and I feel bad but I don't get all upset and cry.

My cousin is going to Iraq and whenever I think about it, I have to hold back tears.

My family is extremely small. I'm an only child and my Mom's brother only had two kids...two boys. They are the closest I have to having brothers. When we were kids, we harassed each other and I never thought about their value in my life. Now that I'm an adult, I realize that as far as family goes, when all the "adults" are gone, the three of us will be all that's left. I love them to death. I would do anything for them. Steven is nice and safe down at UCSD in his nice little ocean front apartment. Danny is leaving for Iraq in two days. Why he chose this line of work, I'll never know. I hope he is fulfilled. I hope this makes him happy. God knows the rest of us are worried as shit.

So, whatever you believe in this crazy world...whoever you pray to when you pray...please say a little prayer that Danny will come back safe and sound. Thanks guys.



Also, if any of you cute girlies want to send him a letter, you can send it to my PM and I'll print it out and send it to him. He hasn't had a girlfriend in a long time and is all depressed that he won't be getting letters from a "sweetheart". Maybe letters from cute SG girls will cheer him up.
