On the road again

It's been 5 years from that one defining moment that forever tore you from my life. It's been five years since I last was sitting in that hot ass humvee talking about everything there was to talk about. 5 years since I had to listen to your shitty rendition of Willie's on the road again as you blew into that sandy harmonica that seemed to always be off tune. Singing on the road again down those dusty roads of Afghanistan. It's been five years since the IED went off. Five years since the day that our platoon leader switched our positions in the squad because you were the better marksmen. That one decision put you closer to the IED. It killed you. It's been 5 days that my incompetence shifted the sands of fate.  

I gave a speech about you today. My words felt hollow in those hallowed halls. I started to walk into the nearest dive bar I could find right afterwords. But as I walked in I heard that stupid song. On the road again. I started sobbing like a little bitch in public. I drove home and started to paint. I played that stupid song on repeat for 6 hours. I drew that old Cadillac dealership where your dumb ass jumped into that 11% interest rate. I painted that son of a bitch willy just because he was the trigger of it all. 

I still check in on Erica. She's doing fine. Your boy is growing up man. He's 8 now. What is terrifying is that he wants to join the military too. We all miss you bud. I relive the moment every day. And I live every day because of you. Knowing you are up there watching my 6 gives me all the confidence I need man. Everytime I start feeling weak or sorry for myself I remember you gave your life so I could have this chance. 


Lest we forget what memorial day is.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, from the hills, from the sky;
All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.

Fading light, dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright.
From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.

Thanks and praise, for our days,
'Neath the sun, 'neath the stars, neath the sky;
As we go, this we know, God is nigh.

Sun has set, shadows come,
Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds
Always true to the promise that they made.

While the light fades from sight,
And the stars gleaming rays softly send,
To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.
