The recent death of an acquaintance has me a bit shook up about my cousin returning to Afghanistan. I just have a bad feeling about this tour of his. It's been a hard year for his side of the family. Within 90 days of each other, he lost his mom (my 2nd cousin) to brain cancer and his grandfather (my great uncle) to lung cancer. In between those two deaths he welcomed a baby boy into the world and was rewashed in the Q course. He and I were so very close as kids (even though we fought like brother and sister) and it pains me to know he has so little family left. His dad was never really a dad to him either. From what I can tell, he and the wifey has some issues going on as well. To be sent there for 12+ months with little to come back to has to be hard.
I just fear for him. I fear for them all.
I'm needing a shoulder to cry on and some one to wipe the tears away. So much is going on right now.
