To all,

Since I've been deployed here as a U.S. Marine, I've seen many lives taken, on both sides. Good people with awesome dreams have passed, even my brother who was a fellow survivor passed last year fighting overseas. As I sit here in this far away place typing this very message I can hear bombs in the distance and I know it means more lives have been taken. Whats my point?... You as survivors are strong willed and while you feel like so much has been taken from you; realize that you STILL have so much to live for. That there are people that would do anything, just to take one more breath, just to feel what pain is one last time...to live again.

I used to read msg's here about people giving up, or feeling like they "cant do this anymore". Your wrong, so wrong.

Yes, so much as been taken from you, trust me I know. And when I say I know, I mean "I know". I've lost everything, and suffered greatly through my entire life. But I'm still breathing...able to feel that pain. I'll hold onto whatever small speck of hope I have. And I wont give up, as long as I'm breathing. As long as I'm alive.

To live. If you ask me..thats more than I could hope for, regardless.
