pondering.....

the day we got home from utah I had a letter in the mailbox waiting for me from my grandma Christy, in the letter she said that my brother had visited Belle Fourche with his girlfriend before he left for Iraq, hmmm.....didn't know that he went or was even going there. That my uncle has prostate cancer, hmmmmmmm........didn't know that either. That his mom has ovarian cancer, hmmmmmm.......didn't know that either. Is it me or is it rude that even though I don't talk to my family very much there I amd still left in the dark about their health and people visiting!? I was very very mad when I read the letter. But then again why should i let it bother me when we don't keep in contact with each other to begin with? A person can only try so much I guess. I was dwelling on it that night and decided to not let it get to me, whatever. I am very upset that my brother hasn't called and let us know that he landed in Iraq safely or not, the plane could have crashed or got bombarded for all we know. Or he could be sitting in the hospital waiting for people to come in with injuries that need to be stitched up......I sometimes wonder what goes through peoples heads, im not perfect by all means, but MAN! show some common courtesy for gosh sakes....
