Click here for a letter.Hi,
Some of you know the difficulty I’ve been going through this year. Started school and feeling overwhelmed with all the medical terminology and information, like today. While I was studying for tonight’s class at Barnes, my dad called me up on the phone to tell me my uncle had committed suicide last night.
I cried all day while finishing up my homework and had a terrible time concentrating. Attended class tonight. Got back and just feel completely numb, devastated, angry, and confused as to why he would do that. I understand in some ways. I felt like that before, but thankfully my family recognized it and came out to see me when I was out west.
I just don’t understand. To anyone contemplating suicide it’s not worth it. The pain you put someone else through is so overwhelming. I feel depressed and feel like crying all over again while typing this. Please don’t ever ever do it. By him doing this it has broken all of our hearts and mine. We all needed him. He did so much to help other people. I just don’t understand.
I just need your prayers. My family needs your prayers or thoughts if you don’t pray.
Thank you,
ANEWDAY
Funny how this is the first letter I saw today when I came on here. You all will be in my prayers!
Thanks Enjay. It means so much to all of us. I’ll be praying for you too as you prepare for your new adventure. You will be missed on here.
It’s the least I can do. And are you referring to my numerous references to joining the military or to a letter recently posted entitled “A break from LINS”? Your comments both here and there seem really similar, and I just thought I’d clear up that I’m not the author of that letter, on the chance that you thought I was. I’m not going anywhere soon, and when I do I’ll be back on here and writing before long.
Either way, God bless you and your family. I wish you all the best!

Thank you again. =)
No I’m not referring to the “A break from LINS.” I’m referring to the letter you wrote a few days ago about joining the military. I know. Lol! I have that reputation now of always being somewhat confused…like a chicken running around with it’s head cut off…when it comes to names and letters especially on here.
Good deal then!
I’m glad you be back on after you arrive where you are supposed to. My older brother is also serving… a contract pilot out in Iraq.
It’s nice to have a brother in the faith on here who is encouraging to us all. Thank you for your wishes and prayers for all of us. God is good all the time and is wonderful to have brought great friends to me on this site.
Blessings bro to you and yours.

Ahh I got you lol. I had read that letter and your comment, then I read your comment on here and I suppose it was my turn to be confused, but I probably just overanalyzed it.
Just as an FYI, I’ll still be around until I ship out to basic, and I don’t have a date set for that yet so it could be a few months. Then chances are, after basic training, when i get to my technical training I’ll get my laptop back and I’ll be back on here writin’!
But again, know I am praying for you and your family. I’m sorry for your sudden and tragic loss, but God is always there for you. I wish you the very best, because you deserve no less.
Your brother in Christ,
Enjay
Haha! You remind me of myself Enjay. I’m always overanalyzing things. There should be a job out there somewhere for that kind of field, because it’s something I’ve learned to specialize in. Lol!
That’s great! I’m glad you will be around for a while. So is basic training boot camp for you or something else? I know my brother can’t talk a lot about his training. Sometimes if I ask him he’ll say, “Well if I told you I would have to kill you.” I think all older brothers would love that chance with their little sisters. Lol.
Keep up that writing. Too bad you don’t write for publications. I really think you should. Your writing is really good.
Thanks again for praying for our family. It’s quite a shock and definitely something we were not expecting at all. It’s nice to be reminded that God is there, especially during this time. Your wishes mean a lot too.
Your sis in Christ,
Ashley
I concur! Then we could get a degree in overanalysis! :-p
Yep, it’s just boot camp. Lots of drills and conditioning and learning basic military operations and stuff, such as combat skills, tactical skills, basic medical skills, etc. It’s probably the technical training that your brother would have to kill you for if he told you, which comes directly after boot camp. Funny enough, I’m looking to go into Intelligence myself, which is one of those top secret fields. And I can’t argue with that statement about sisters lol. but I love my sister just the same.
I’m sure it was. It’s the least I can do and I’m just glad to help however I can.
Your brother in Christ,
Nate
Sold then! A lifetime of overanalysis it is then. Lol!
I’ll be interested to hear what you learn in basic medical skills. I’m sure it certainly has come a long way from what skills were being taught during WWII. How funny that you are going into a top secret field. You really would have to kill me then if you told. Haha! Figures. That’s what sisters are for anyway. Lol!
Again, thank you. =)
Your sis in Christ,
Ash
as always you’re in my thoughts!
keep your head up, girlie.. you’re so strong – i know it.

Thank you Lady! It means so much to me. You are a great friend. I’ve been praying for you over the weekend too and been thinking about you.
