What Happened

As you ended our video call, You suited up, Helmet, Armor, Gun. Just another day in that god forsaken place, As soon as you stepped off the plane it felt like being in an oven. But hey, What did you expect. The boys and you all load up into the Humvee and take off with the rest of the Caravan. Just another day. Just another day… There wasn’t supposed to be an explosion. There weren’t supposed to be screams. There wasn’t supposed to be any blood shed. It was supposed to be just another day. But all of that did happen. And you were taken away from me and Mom and Dad and our little sister, In an instant. You were supposed to come home. We were supposed to celebrate your birthday together, Our sister baked you a cake for when you came home. But… now you can’t, And you won’t, Ever again. Because you’re gone. And you can’t ever come back. But know that we love you, Know that I love you, Know that I loved you, My Brother. Most Importantly know that we miss you, every waking moment. Because you’re gone, And we’ll never see you again. Did I tell you Mom and Dad still pay your phone bill? They pay, So that we can hear your voice on your voicemail recording when we miss you. I call, Everynight.
