Today my big brother Nick leaves to go to Ft Bennings Georgia. He will be there for more than 13 weeks because he will compleate basic& Ait traing there. I hide my true emotions as we are at the airport along with many other people, sending away their family memebers and friends. Everyone around me is crying but me. I cant, not in front of anybody here. I dont want to show my brother how sad I am. I want to show strength and courage for him so he leaves knowing im ok, even though im not. Him leaving makes my anxiety worse but I dont want him to know because I dont want to worry him.
The time comes where we have to say our final goodbyes untill all of the men and women graduate from basic training. Each of my family members hug him and say their goodbyes. Then its my turn. "Hey nick, I love you this is not goodbye, its see you later, I will see you in a short 13 weeks ok? Dont forget about me and everyone else. Write me back please. Im writing you a letter as soon as we get home ok?
"Maddie, I will miss you so much! I know that I never really show it and you never do either, but I love you, I know I never say that but I mean it. I love you. And yes I will write back, and I will never forget about anyone ok? Love you little sis, stay strong for me."
And like that, he was gone. He walked into the termanal and now he is gone. Gone for over thirteen weeks with only one visit.
