My little brother came to town today. I haven’t seen the little shit in over two years, but he and a buddy were driving through on their way to Monteray for pre-deployment leave and stopped by for lunch. Jack is headed to visit his wife, whose in school there, and his friend was off to visit his family. It was great to see him. Except for him gaining weight and me losing some, it was like nothing had changed. We were back to making fun of each other and things from home in no time.

The thing that sucks is while I haven’t seen him in two years, today is the last time I will see him for at least another year since he’s off to Iraq in less than a month. I’ve already discussed how I feel about that. I hugged him extra hard before he left. One for me and another for my mom. I’m sure he’ll be fine while he’s gone, but I still worry about him.

Unfortunately, I’m mildly retarded and forgot to take a photo before he left. But probably a good thing as his ugly mug would’ve broken my camera. Hehehe.
