    Bootcamp is finally almost over. I've called mom, and told her not to tell Elizathat I decided to serve. Mom, was pissed, and wanted to kill me. She said I wasan asshole for leaving her, and Eliza and our sons alone, without any moreinformation, than I need to leave to keep you safe. It, was over-all, tamerthan I thought it would be, because she didn't reach through the phone andstrangle me, so that's a plus. She told me, that Eliza took her finals, andgraduated a year early, so she could get another job to sustain everydayliving. She also told me that they're doing pretty good without me. Eliza iskeeping them together, so that's good. Justin just turned one, and I missed it.I'm that father, who missed his own son's first birthday, and that makes myheart weep, because I shouldn't have missed it. I should have been there seeinghim eat cake, and open a present that I got him, but no, I'm here being trainedto go over sea's to serve my country that is constantly thinking it's betterthan all the others. You know FUCK THIS! I need to forget, because chances are,she'll not want me back, because I'm such an asshole, and such a liar
