:(

so we have this really good friend that joined the national guard, his name is chris. at the moment he's at basic training. but it's so hard not having him here. he was always so happy and had a very contagious personality. he was always willing to help out. and i miss him. a lot right now. he called liz's phone on sunday and we were able to talk to him. it was great. :) right now i'm not that afraid for him. what if the war doesn't end any time soon...? what if he's called to iraq. i don't think i could handle that. even the thought is bringing tears to my eyes... man, i love that boy like he's my own brother. i don't want him to get hurt. and one of my good friends, annie, is dating chris. i don't want her hurt either. but, i do think he made the right choice. i'm just scared...
