It's not, and I'm not much of a stalker. I;ve covered about half of the distance that was once between us with my move to KY. That's as far north as our money could carry us, for now. It does weigh on me, though, especially trying to gauge whether or not I have a right to just show up, in truth (not legally, but as a good man). Some part of me wants to, but the other part, that;s been away from her for more than a decade, is terrified all the same. Imagine meeting your child, truly, only when she was a near adult. Tjhere will be questions I can't, and won't...answer. How would it work. On and on. But I try not to dwell too often or too deeply.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
