Remmembering a friend
We went to school together from 7th grade through high school. He was a good student, not the best but pretty good. He was the one that you know you can trust, not because he made noise, but because he didn’t.
Then we went to the army, young boys full of adrenalin and motivation, wanting to be the best. I went to the naval academy and he went to flight school. As many others I ended in Infantry and he ended at the artillery corps. Soon we met in officers schools, proud and even more motivated.
I didn’t see him a lot since, His unit was in different rotation than mine and our vacation didn’t fall in the same time. But we remained high school friends; boys from a little town in the south that need to prove to everybody that they are no less.
I saw him last at night. He was very excited, his contract was ending in a month and he had many plans for civilian life. We were still the high school friends and the world was beautiful. In the morning, at the border crossing a suicide bomber killed my friend. His always around. where ever I’m, I remmember him and that his not, and I’m missing him more as time pass by.
