This is a personal story to me, to understand this story we will have to start at from beginning. I hope you enjoy this story and it is both entertaining and heartwarming to you as I am sharing a personal event in my life. Join me on this journey of discovery as I unveil one of the darker mysteries in my life. It was my fifth and final deployment with the Navy, it had been a long six years and it seemed like I was never home due to all the training evolutions and deployments I had been a part of. I was excited to finish this deployment, return home, and make up for the lost time with my wife. I went to a beautiful country we called Satan’s butthole, just kidding it was Afghanistan. This deployment wasn’t like the others, every other time we …show more content…
I tried multiple times, I even tried texting her still no answer. I left her a voicemail notifying her to call me once she got it. I eventually did the one thing that a desperate man would do after not hearing from her for hours I called her mother. I asked had she seen her daughter, her reply was a quick “no I haven’t, why?” I didn’t want to tell her why, so I responded “Nothing, just asking, she was supposed to be heading over there to see Janelle since she’s coming home today”. Her mom replied “Janelle flies in tomorrow morning”. This only furthered my suspicions, I began thinking to myself why would she leave a day early and more importantly why would she lie about it? I switched into private investigator mode and ended the conversation with her mother on that note and began to launch my investigation. I went on Google to search for the number that text me hoping to find some kind of social media account attached to it but my search yielded no results. I decided to pay a visit to her Facebook page to see if any photos or post’s will give me some clues to what’s going on, but still my search was a failure. Then I notice that her account was blank and she hadn’t posted anything in months (How is that possible) I begin thinking to myself, when she’s always on her Facebook chatting with friends. I did a quick name search on Facebook and Bam! I find another Facebook account …show more content…
Needless to say this doesn’t excuse doesn’t hold well with me, I ask her to come home so we can talk after she sees her sister for the weekend of course. Monday came and she arrived home, we begin to talk the first thing I ask is “why?” I assumed everything was fine and I wanted to know why she would betray me in this way. She begins crying and said “I didn’t want to do this, but I just wasn’t happy anymore.” I replied “So that gives you the right to run off and be a whore?” I can tell what I said hurt her feelings but at this point I no longer cared. My feelings were hurt as well and the tension in the house became so thick you can cut it with a knife. I sat there in silence at a loss of words as she silently packed her things with tears trickling down her cheeks, I can tell she’s ashamed of what she’s done and she has decided to go to her parent’s house until things cool down. When she finishes packing she silently heads toward the door, but before she walks out she looks back a mumbles the words “I’m so sorry”. At this point I don’t want to hear an apology, but she waits a few seconds for my reply when she realizes I have said all I needed to say to her she slowly closes the door. Feeling hurt, lonely, and betrayed I sit in the dark living room listening
She avoided me and refused to answer any texts. On the other hand, I had Aidan pouring fuel on the fire and dispersing sarcastic comments left and right. Somewhere in the midst of this he created a Mean Mady club and said I was the leader. Days at LCDS began to run slower and slower and I honestly wanted to know what was wrong with Mady blissfully unaware of the crap Aidan was throwing out. “You’re cyberbullying” this girl named MaKayla told me. Cyberbullying? Because I texted Mady wanting to know what was wrong? Early one morning I had an urge to get to the bottom of what was going on. I texted Mady saying I had no idea what was going on and I really wanted to go back to the way things used to be. Who responded? Not Mady, but her mom, Kate. She scolded me for “bullying” her helpless daughter and that I should be ashamed of the language I use. I had no clue what she was talking about but immediately after reading the text, a pall of dread enclosed around me. Panicked, I went to my mother. She too had been confused by the whole ordeal, and told me to respond asking what she meant. What it came down to was Kate Gosselin screaming at my mom over the phone as my mom yelled
The dreaded day arrived too soon. There I stood four months pregnant, feeling both scared and worried, on a warm sunny August day getting ready for our tearful goodbye. Being a military spouse, you know that you will...
Vietnam is bittersweet for me. Without the war, I wouldn't have been born. Without the American soldiers there, I wouldn't be Amerasian and living in the United States. The bitter part is that I will never find out who my father is. I don't have his name or Social Security number. I wish I had a real family to come home to during the holidays.
BEFORE READING ANY FURTHER. THIS BACKSTORY IS DARK AND CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.
I grew up in a small town and after I graduated high school I wanted more in life than a 9 to 5 job; I wanted to see the world. I had a few friends that had joined the military and had come home to visit with exciting stories about their experiences. I noticed a change in a few of them; they seemed to walk a little taller, maybe act a bit more mature. This, along with the intrigue of life outside of my small town, drew me to consider joining the military. I met a recruiter in Lakeland Florida in July of 1989 and a few months later on September 26th I raised my right hand and took the Oath of Enlistment. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.
I was not the same guy anymore, so I accepted her apology and took her back. But only to get revenge on her. So, when we got back together it was my junior year of high school. All of my friends decided we were going to take a trip to New York for spring break and stay a few days. I decided to invite her to come along. On this trip is when I planned my revenge. I planned to hurt her more than she hurt me. So, I told her to meet me down by the pool late night so we can get some alone time. When she came down, she found me and her best friend doing the nasty in the pool. Making her furious to the point, she took the first flight out of New York that next morning. I even got her best friend to stop talking to her, making her think it was her fault and that she was the one that messed up. I now realize that was wrong of me, but it felt so good and right at the time. Her cheating on me turned me into a dog and I thought I would never find love again. I am in a new relationship with a girl that went through the same thing as me. She was with a guy that cheated on her and they got back together and he cheated again. Females seem to be more connected when something like that happens because even, after all, that she still loved him. While I, on the other hand, it made me not love for a while. I longed for a relationship, but could not find one. I was just having sexual relations and leaving it at that. When I
Nothing could be worst than your dad bringing up "THE CONVERSATION." Starting at age 5 I loved playing soccer,running up and down the field, making moves and kicking balls to the back of the net was always the way to go. Soccer meant the world to me and especially playing with my best friends since the day I started. My days would go something like this, go to school,get home,do homework then get ready and go to a beautiful fun day at soccer!After soccer I would go home sit on the couch and eat.I was a lazy one. That's why I hoped my dad would never ever bring up this conversation.... But he did anyways.
went to sit down on the sofa. A few minuets later my food was ready
SWISH! I turn my head to the right with a grin and see my mom cheering as I scored my first points of the season. The last game of the season I scored my first points of my middle school basketball “career.” Now sit back and relax as you read the story of how I got my first points in middle school basketball.
Leaving the bodies for last we walked down the drive to take a look. Several rifles and shotguns were leaned carefully again the big oak. Two handguns and some knives were on the grass in front of them. Four people dangled from a branch of the tree close enough to each other to bump like a weird wind chime. A young couple and the other twice their age at a guess from the gray hair and styles of dress. They were probably parents and a married son or daughter with their spouse. Other than being hung there were no injuries apparent on any of the four. From the condition of the bodies they had been dead about a day.
My story began in a cradle in Romania that contained a heart that has been broken, and fallen apart from the mystery of my childhood.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Said a ruffled voice, coming from my half-opened door. Raising my head from the bed, squinting my eyes, trying to see who was at the door, there stood my chloric father.
Two years ago in the summer time I went to visit my family in Romania after not seeing them for about three years. My whole entire family from both of my parents live in Romania so the summer is the only time we get a chance to see them. Two years ago I was not really aware of how grateful and lucky I am that I can go visit my family because some families do not have the chance to go because airplane tickets cost so much money.
Trust me, this brings me only shame, which is why I am moving out for a while. I just can’t face you for a while until this has sunken in for us both: me, for knowing that you know, and you, for merely knowing. I know I am a coward, but you must believe me in that in writing this letter, I have placed all I hold dear at stake. If you can live with me and be my husband after knowing what you have just read, then I will see you in a week. If you want to leave me- divorce me- I understand completely. But please give it some time.
