My brother Steve left for Afghanistan today.

My Grandmother has taken another turn for the worst and has requested that she be allowed to come home from the hospital to die.

My Mother is falling apart.

This all makes me want to fall into Jeb's arms and cry my eyes out but he's in Arizona with his Dad this week.

I'll go home and cry with my doggies, because they always give me kisses when I cry.

that was then - this is now
