Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

It has been about a year, four months, eleven days, and twelve hours since my last post in my journal. As fate would have it, I have not grown apart from gaia enough to force me to stop writing in this journal. It is an effective way to express myself in a way that no one but myself and few others can read.

So much has changed over the last year, and yet so much has stayed the same. I lost my closest friend while I was in basic training. His memory will linger in my thoughts for the remainder of my life. There isn't a day that I don't wish I could speak with him about how things have changed. I wish I could talk to him about how adorable his son, my nephew, is. I wish I could tell him about the pain he brought to his family, his friends, and to his son who will never know his father.

There is so much regret that fills me to this day over his death. I wish I could have been there to help him through his heartache. I know for a fact that if I could have been there... he would be here today.
