Well, after that day at school I went home. And guess who I see in the front door waiting for me? It was my brother Matt back from Iraq! I hadn’t seen him in 2 whole years!! But, his news wasn’t so great…

“Hey there lil’ sis! I’m so happy to see you!” He said. You don’t know how happy I was. I went over to him and jumped in his arms. “Matt!!!!! I’m sooo happy to see you!!” I said. And I was really happy. Me and my brother are really close, so when I seen him I was extatic. “Well, I actually have a little bit of bad news..” He said. Uh oh. Just what I need. “What’s wrong?” I asked him. “Well, I only get to stay today and tomorrow. Then I have to go back to base. We are really having some trouble out there and we only get to see our families for a little while…” He said. I just wanted to cry right then and there. Oh no. But my date with Chris was tomorrw. How am I going to have my date with Chris and Spend time with my brother? I can’t beleive this!!!
