Old E-mails mean something

I was sittin' here just now lookin' through some old e-mails and I saw one that I really wanted to read. It was a music video. The song is called "If I Die Before You Wake". A guy, while on duty in Iraq wrote it. Here are the lyrics,
Back home now I know you're probably sleepin' Over here it's the middle of the day I finally found the time to write a letter Sittin' here a half a world away
I heard about all them folks protestin' As if I really want this war But that don't stop me from believin' There's just some things worth fightin' for
CHORUS And if I die before you wake, I pray the world will take A good look at what God's given us That we could only understand, everything is in his hands. All we need is a little faith and trust I want you to know it ain't too high a price to pay If I die before you wake
Tell everybody that I miss them And I can't wait to get back home But until then I'll serve my country And be proud to wear this uniform
CHORUS No it ain't too high a price to pay If I die before you wake.
It is a really sad song and it really gives you a slap in the face of what's really out there and what we are facing. I heard someone say once that if they die tomorrow they would rather die serving this country than in a fight. I agree with that because if you are in a fight and you die that is like a sin but, if you die fighting for this country that is serving everyone in this country and protecting us. Our country is sacred and we need to cherish that and not just throw it all away. You know, I may not like this war but, since there is nothing I can do about it we should make the best of it anyway. Our country s sacred! Don't throw it away!!!!

Family

Today me family from Carson City are coming down. I'm excited. I only get to seee them like twice a year. On Friday I am going to my gym and we are going to decorate our float for the Enchilada Fiesta. On Saturday I'm going to my sister's 1st birthday party and them I'm going to the game. My cheer team and I are selling shirts for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October). The shirts are pink and the say "Dare to wear PINK". Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a big month for me because my great-grandma is a survivor of breast cancer. On the other side of the stick, my step-grandma and my aunt's mom both past away because of breast cancer. FIND A CURE FOR CANCER!!!!! -The girl who is scared half to death

Movies

This weekend my friends and I are going to the movies. We are goin' and bringin' our boy friends. I'm so excited. It is going to be so fun. After that, all of the guys are going home and all of the girls are goin' to one of my friend's house and we are going to spend the night. We are probably going to stay up until like 3:00 in the morning. Talking 'bout guys, and everythin' girls talk 'bout. We are all like sisters. Nothin' in the whole wold can replace somethin' as good as best friends who are like sisters. It's irriplaceable!

How Sacred Our Country is

Today I got an e-mail that is about a guy. It was a music Video. He is in the war in Iraq. He had wrote a song called "If I Die Before You Wake". I saw the music video and I cried. It is so sad. The song is talking about this guy who is saying that if he dies before his loved ones wake that he hopes that everyone will pray for him. He is saying that he misses his loved ones very much and he is ready to come home. I am so sad because one fof my freinds' dad is in Iraq. With this e-mail you really get a slap in the face of what we are really facing out there and what our country is facing. That every second a loved one is dying for this country. The sake of this country and our freedoom. Someone once told me that if he were to die tomorrow he would rather die serving our country than dieing in a fight. Here is the shortcut link to the video. Check it out. I swear it will bring tears to your eyes. It's time to bring them home.

Friends

My friends- so much to say. My friends are so cool. I love my freinds. On Saturday I had a pool party and all of my best buds came. We had so much fun. My bestest bud in the whole world- Robert came. It was awesome. I haven't seen him in forever and it was very good to see him again. After the party we went to the movies. We saw Mr. Woodcock. It was really funny. I liked it a lot. I love all of my freinds and wouln't want to lose them for anything. They are here for me and I'm here for them. I don't know what I would do without my friends. They are everything to me. I can't explain it. It is just a sensational feeling to have as good friends as I do. We laugh, cry, do everyhting together. I'm so glad I have freinds like them. -The gurl with the best best friends ever!
