Sad Days

My grandmother passed away yesterday. So I've been a little sad. It wasn't unexpected, but its still upsetting that I won't make it to the funeral. After all those memories, I can't honor her at the end. It again makes me wonder about all the sacrifices American soldiers are making for this country. Some make the ultimate sacrifice and never return home. It's hard to imagine the misery those families are put though. I hope the mission here is worth it.
