My little brother just called me and told me something that I really didn't want to hear... especially from him... I was afraid of this...
Danny is in the Marine Corp... He is presently a MP...The other day they were asking for volunteers to go over to Iraq... Two of his buddies are going and they both told him he should go too... he is thinking about going... He is on leave for the next two weeks and he is going to take that time to decide if he really wants to go... This is what he told me would decide if he was going to go or not... His ex-girlfriend... Lyndsay and Danny have been together for about 3 years... Lyndsay decided (she is still in high schoo) that this past summer she wanted to break things off with Danny just so she could do her own thing her senior year... I know for a fact that Lyndsay really doesn't want to get back together with Danny at this time... She wants to date other people... She wants to have fun this year before she is out in the real world... I agree with her... but then that means that Danny is going to go to Iraq...
Something I was afraid of... I don't know if you would call it physic but once he told me what was going to decide for him...I had that deep feeling in my stomach that this was going to be one of the last times I was ever going to talk to him... or see him for that matter...
I don't talk about this too much but I thought I share...
I have had that feeling before at least 3 different times... once with a guy in high school, a friend and my mom....
DW and I had a class together but I barely ever spoke to him until that day I dropped my books on the floor and he bent down and helped me... I looked him in the eye said thank you and he walked away... I remember having that feeling that I was never going to see that kid again... I was right... He killed himself that night...
Spencer was a friend of a friend... I had spoken to him once in awhile at parties so I wouldn't exactly say that we were the best of friends... but anyways... It was my friend Kelly's Christmas Party... Spencer and I actually had a great conversation... found out some intersting things that we had in common... but it was starting to get late and Troy and I knew it was time to go get the young one and go home... I remember giving Spencer a hug and I had that same feeling that I was never going to see Spencer ever again... a month later Spencer was killed in a car accident...
My mom and I have always had a special relationship... We were close... We both shared a passion for so many different things... The day we left Toledo to move out to Colorado I spent the entire day with her... When I gave her a hug good bye before we left... I looked her in the eyes and I think she saw it too... She held me a little bit longer and told me to be safe, that she loved me and that she would miss me... I looked her in the eye one more time and she just nodded to me like to say it was all going to be okey... She died 3 months later...

I agree with kodijack, you don't have eye verification.
That being said... I do understand. I come from a military family born and raised. So many of my friends have served over in Iraq... it is a nerve wracking experience. My thoughts and prayers will be with your brother should he go. And my prayer for you will be that you will be able to hug him many more times. o
