our soldier he has a very long yet very short story. I remember when Ri and I were little and you were left to watch us, it would be 11 pm and the two of us would be in laughing fits over your silly voices trying to convince us to sleep. i remember us trying to tag along behind you as you lead the way into the forest to your "fort". i remember the day that Ri and I first found out you were going over seas, the way the two of us just stood there looking lost and looking up at you each of us wondering why you were leaving. i remember having to watch you get on the plane, Ri and i just stood there watching you go hoping it was one of your jokes. i remember when you came back and we wouldnt let you go. i remember the way you told us the second time to wait and you would be back. i remember the air port that second time sitting by the windows waiting to see your plane. i remember asking if you would come talk to my class and how scared you were, i remember that day going in sad thinking you wouldnt come, then the teach told me to go to the office and there you were. i remember every holiday or family get together you were one of the only that would come find me and ask what i was doing. I remember you leading us out onto the ice in Alaska were Ri and i just tagged along behind you. i remember the last time i hugged you, back in February. that was also the last time i saw you. if i had known it was going to be the last i dont think i would have let you go. both you and Ri are two of the people that are closest to me. i didnt think i would have been saying good bye to you so soon. on Monday when i came to see you, at first i didn't want to see, but Ri took my hand and lead me back to see you. you just looked like you were sleeping, why couldnt that have been true? why couldnt you have just been asleep? why did you have to go?
