I came to a startling conclusion today. Yes I dreadfully miss some people who aren't here but I don't think I want to return home. At least not with what I have in my future, perhaps if I didn't know I wouldn't say that but knowing... It gives a different perspective on things. Here I have a high chance for medical treatment that I wouldn't receive at home, in the future. I don't have to see the ones I care about suffer through the years to come. Most of them are here and they're safe and happy and that is what matters to me. Plus, if I am understanding it correctly there is still a 'me' with the Fleet.
Lee & Kara
The two of you are my family and I care about you. I need to say that more often.
