12 Oct 2004 Dear Brother, This is the letter I never wrote you while you were in Vietnam. How are things going for you now? Are your days now filled with laughter again, like when we were young? As a 12 year old I was busy with my own world - just starting Junior High and all of my older brothers leaving all at once. Was a lot for someone so young and tender. I remember the day as if it was yesterday. Home from school already. My friends and I were hanging out. There was a knock at the door. There stood two soldiers, wanting to talk to Dad. Because Guy was home on leave I joked that he was A.W.O.L. They said they'd be back. I continued with my friends, not thinking any more about the soldiers. We went horseback riding. You know it was one of my favorite pasttimes. It was a warm September afternoon. I was coming home when here comes Julie running as fast as she can to tell me the most horrifying news I have ever had to deal with. Mark, I miss you every day. The only regret I have in life is I never wrote you while you were alive. I Love You. Your Littlest Sister, Sheila |
