Hello. I’m Casey. I’m possibly the only Jewish person living in North Carolina. I live here with my son Rhett and my husband Jake. I’m a United States Marine Corps wife. I study the Holocaust and hope to have a PhD in Holocaust studies. With all things considered I’m just one hell of a person. Rest in Peace, Emmers. August 2, 2009- August 17, 2011. You can keep your Army khaki and you can keep your Navy blue because I have the world’s best fighting man to introduce to you. His uniform is different but it’s the best you’ve ever seen. The Germans call him devildog but his real name is marine. He was born on Parris Island, the place that God forgot, where the sand is eighteen inches deep and the sun is blazing hot. When he gets to Heaven St. Peter he will tell “one more marine reporting, sir. I’ve served my time in hell”. Now listen young girls, my devildog is clever, but you’ll have to get yourself a new marine because this one is mine forever. He hugs me, kisses me, treats me like a queen for there is no better fighting man than a United States marine.

It's better out than in as the saying goes. Keeping these feelings bottled up will only make you feel worse and if you need to come here and vent then go nuts! If you ever need someone to talk to outside of your family or anything I'm always here :) xx<p>I just feel bad venting it on tumblr and spamming up all of your dashes. But thank you, dear</p>http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13564802103http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13564802103Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:07:34 -0500l-u-s-t-t: well hey boyfrienddd ;) <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvfrhydiug1r5cxoyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://l-u-s-t-t.tumblr.com/post/13508214389">l-u-s-t-t</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>well hey boyfrienddd ;)</p> </blockquote>http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13563386619http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13563386619Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:40:54 -0500I was looking through some older posts and I saw a lot from when my sister died.

This is the first holiday season without her and it still doesn&#8217;t feel right. It&#8217;s supposed to be the happiest time of the year but everything about it hurts so badly because she won&#8217;t be here this year.</p> <p>Just scratch everything I said about feeling better about losing her. I don&#8217;t feel better. I&#8217;m still angry, crushed, lost, everything about losing her. I just want my little sister back. I just want to hold her and play with her and kiss her again. Is that so much to ask for?</p> <p>Yes, I know she&#8217;s in a better place but I&#8217;m not there with her. Because of that there&#8217;s something missing. She had a home here though. She had a home with two parents and sisters and grandparents and friends that loved her. And damn it she was two. I just can&#8217;t understand why it was her. I don&#8217;t understand why she got cancer and why she died.</p> <p>I&#8217;m sorry I&#8217;m venting. I just miss my little sister.</p> <p>I love you so much, Emmalee.</p>http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13563332953http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13563332953Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:39:54 -0500Hell yes<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvhy6esbIK1qgzwmfo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Hell yes</p>http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13562344579http://thisismywonderfulstory.tumblr.com/post/13562344579Wed, 30 Nov 2011 18:20:38 -0500c-h-a-o-s: snow!
