Dear Diary,


Wow 

Ok


If you are really still there

Damn so many ways to sing it

Countless songs 

Packing my bags to some great music I can finally say it outloud 


I look white but my maiden name is a Mexican...in my culture we have a holiday where we can both just exist and remember. I just feel like celebrating my favorite holiday but i need one or the other to really celebrate correctly cuz the movie coco


If the funeral was true 

I need a picture of you


If it was a lie


Well 

Translation

Sugar skulls


This is just a great fucking day were we get together and party with our loved ones and its so fucking amazing


Becuase once a year we get together and say I remember you, I love you, lets just enjoy our time together while we can


I've got almost everything I need to invite my whole family all my loved ones, I can plan a really good party for us...


But you have to understand this part of my culture first


Its a movie called coco

If you all remember me just as well as I remember you 


Well, dia de los muertos starts on October 31

And ends on November 2


Afghanistan happened we were all there

My one perfect wish

Everyone made it back home and created a life where they can be happy 


Sure its 2020

But we survived a war

I'm pretty sure we can all handle this party no matter where in the world we are


We just should share our memories finally

Dump the bad and appreciate was was good

Because we are COMBAT VETERANS who SURVIVED AFGHANISTAN TOGETHER 


ALL OF US ON THE SAME BASE

BUT DIFFERENT UNITS

DIFFERENT BRANCHES

ALL REALLY AMAZING!


It's so weird cuz back then I was just 18


But holy shit

I made it to 30 lol


When did we all get so damn old lol its fucking great though cuz we are still here and safe at home in the middle of a 2020


And its like we all lived long enough to see it all and make it out alright!!



Oh and yeah no kids

Didn't work out 

I almost had one

But Im ok without 

Because I can help others

The way you all helped me
