sarah and fam,
damn. that's sad to hear. the shitty thing is, we've only seen him like once in our life. and we were young as fuck. i was figuring when i got out we could kill some of my loot and we could all go and visit our family. but i guess that surprise got nixed. i did pray for him when you first emailed me. i don't really know what to say i guess. grieving and then life goes on. it happens. kinda trips you out on your own parents deaths, as well as your own. either way, grandpa was like the bomb guy, always loving and straight shooter with God. You know he's living it up in heaven. it'll suck for a while but eventually we'll see him. play some karem board or something. anyway, 2 days ago our vehicle got hit with a bomb, i was in the third vehicle...but it was our first vehicle that got hit. 130 mm mortar round. no one got seriously hurt, we had to drag the driver out of his hatch cuz he was unconscious. i hooked him up, he was shook up like a mofo. everyone else is okay. it was crazy the way it happened too, it was in the center of the road and when it rolled over it, it blew up and it went like a foot behind the driver, any faster or slower and someone probably would have died. i don't know how or why that worked out, God's working with us, that's apparent. anyway, yesterday we jacked some boats, made little kids ferry us across the tigris river, did alot of moving around, i cleared a building by myself, almost shot a guy. caught a bad guy, ferried him across the river, cuffed him..and now he's detained. i was freaking out cuz i don't know how to swim, hahaha. anyway, we're still getting mortared i woke up today to a fucking loud ass blast. lol this place sucks. well, i have to go. we got patrol, also me and a buddy want you to hook us up with some t shirt designs. we'll draw it up and email it. and then you can work it up a bit do your thang and send it back and if it's cool we'll pay you, it'll be like 10 guys, hit em up with like 25 a piece or something. you can make some profit too. peace out cub scout.
your bro in arms,
simon
ps - deepest condolences...
take care
Its good to hear that Simon is doing well. Did he get his package yet? Tell him I said hello. I am sorry to hear about your grandfather. Death is a mind boggling thing to comprehend for me.
