So my brother was suppose to leave for boot camp for the Marines in Feb. When I woke up this morning I was informed that he called my mom last night to say he was probably leaving in about a month. I don't know if I'm ready for him to go yet. He's been talking about this for years, and I actually tried to talk him into Army since I had met a guy on vacation who is in the Army, but my brother said no. To give me a months notice that my brother is leaving me is not enough time. I thought I had more time. My brother and I have gotten so close over the past 3 years. I use to be jealous of him and my sister since they were close, but they were in school a year apart too. Now I just don't know if I'm ready. Hopefully he will make the decision soon. If he goes in Dec. it will be the day after the anniversary of my dads death, which is already a hard day on him and I. I guess I just need to start to mentally prepare myself for him to leave. When he was suppose to graduate in May from boot camp, I would of had a weeks vacation by then and I was gonna go see him graduate, then head back to GA to visit my friends there, but come March I will still have school and I don't know if I will be able to go see him, which will devestate me if I can't.
