Like Janis Joplin said "freedom is nothing left to lose".
In all honesty I use to be brave.
I was the guy that ran to the fire, the car crash, the hurricane the natural disaster.
This was all viewed as being brave. But in all reality it was careless.
I always saw myself as leaving some kind of positive legacy should anything ever happen to me.
But then I met the love of my life, who has taught me more about life and what life is meant to be than I ever thought I would ever know. Life I always felt was about being a hero, and there are those that have called me that. But, it is not about being a hero. The true hero is the one that waits and worries about me when I do the stupid things I do, that is the hero. She is the one that wonders if i am OK, when I am selfish, and know that I am OK, and have no way to tell her I am OK. She is the one that inspires me even to try and help others less fortunate than me. All the time knowing that it is not a safe thing to do. I have been in the disaster business for more than 20 years, more than anybody ever should, but I have not been able to stop myself because I have the skills and the talent to make a difference.
I have been on two relief missions the last two months, both hurricanes and both were traumatic. Traumatic in the sense that I now feared leaving someone behind. Someone that I would never be able to say I loved you to again. Someone that would always wonder what they did wrong, if anything ever happened to me. When I was in the heavy winds, and rain, I knew I was OK, but the love of my life did not and that bothered me.
So sweetheart when I send you this link know that I will always be safe and that I take extra precautions, now more than ever. Because now I have my own hero to come home to and you are it.
Because we have tomorrow, always and forever, and if someday something should ever happen to either one of us. Know that the true disaster would have been that we never happened at all.
So, no I am not brave, I just go through the motions, I just fear not being able to make it home to the arms of the one I love.
So "Reyhan" when you find yourself alone, and I am far away, know that if I ever would have found the words to write some fancy poem, and say I love you all the time I would have.
But I had to do it here.

I pretend to be when this is all that has been saved for me...
No, I am not really brave. There are situations that scare me too much.

When I pretended to be brave, I thought to myself....
"Hey, at least I'm brave enough to pretend it".
It took a lot of courage to do so...............

I know I am brave and I am not afraid to toot my horn. I have had cancer three times. I know that I am safe from harm because of the love of God. I am not afraid of death as it is a better place (not that I am in a hurry). I was in the military for many years successfully.

I`m shivering in my shoes and hold my head erect so no one will suspect i`m afraid! Make believe you`re brave and the trick will take you far, you may be as brave as you make believe you are. i missed out the whistle a happy tune bit.. I`m gone!
