Hello
I woke up last night to mortar rounds. As I layed there wondering where and when the next one would hit, it made me think about the fragility of life. One moment living and breathing and the next dead. Six people died the other day from a mortar round attack. We've been lucky so far, but I wonder if our luck is going to run out. Our motor pool was hit a few weeks ago. One of our generators was destroyed along with a stack of tires and some shrapnel flew into a sleep tent. It was during the day, so no one was in there. I never really wondered about it before--I always just assumed I was indestructable, but as I lay awake last night, reality hit. The explosions were loud and vibrated my cot. At any moment I could be dead.
Thanks for taking care of Marisa for me while I've been gone. It means a lot to both of us. You have really been great grandparents to the kids too. I really have it in my heart to come up there one day, sooner or later, to stay. I would love to be a cop, but I am ashamed of a couple immature mistakes I made, which could prevent that from happening. You know what I am talking about.
Well, have a good day at work. Talk to you later. Love,
James
