Brother, you were only 11 when I left for the military. I’ve been gone 28 years. I missed so many things; I wasn’t there to see you drive a car, for your first date, or when father died. I was absent for so many things, even your wedding. I am sorry. Part of my sacrifice was time I should have spent with you. Only the family of a soldier knows the emptiness left behind when they go. And though I wasn’t always watching, you were always in my heart. I am proud of you and I love you. Allen
