I woke up this morning to the smell of bacon and egg's and the sound of my little brother and sisters feet on the hall way floor.  Nevaeh had just turned 2 and Aaron was 4. I remember Nevaeh's birthday more than any other because the day after my father was shipped off to fight in a war that the government pulled our country in when they decided to help Germany fight France. Why my father would want to leave the family and go off to war i don’t know. Mom tried to keep everything as normal as possible when he was away. He had promised he wouldn't go away again but when the country need's him he goes to fight. Mom always told us he was born to fight and we all understood that but it doesn’t stop us from missing him when he's not around.

Today mom would be taking us to see Grandma and Grandpa. I love being with them seeing there the closest thing i have to my father when he’s gone. They have pictures of him and my mom from when they were little. they have been together for almost 16 years. They would tell u stories about when they were only 13 and 15 and first met. Sometimes i sit in my bed at night and think about it.

  They had met at a track meet at my mom's school. Mom had told us they met in the shot put range. She took one look at him and new that they belonged together. Father said the same. They wouldn't recognize that they belonged together until 2 days later. I sit in bed and hope that one day i can find a love like them.
