I got this in a email from a online friend and i found it special so i thought to post it here for all of you to read !

The Soldier's Friend
> ====================
>
> A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home
> after having fought in Vietnam.
>
> He called his parents from San Francisco.
>
> "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask.
> I have a friend I'd like to bring home with me."
>
> "Sure," they replied, "We'd love to meet him."
>
> "There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was
> hurt pretty bad in the fighting. He stepped on a land mind and
> lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want
> him to come live with us."
>
> "I'm sorry to hear that, son. Maybe we can help him find
> somewhere to live."
>
> "No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."
>
> "Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking.
> Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden on us.
> We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like
> this interfere with our lives."
>
> "I think you should just come home and forget about this guy.
> He'll find a way to live on his own."
>
> At that point, the son hung up the phone.
>
> The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later,
> however, they received a call from the San Francisco police.
>
> Their son had died after falling from a building, they
> were told. The police believed it was suicide.
>
> The grief-stricken parents flew to San Francisco and were taken
> to the city morgue to identify the body of their son.
>
> They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered
> something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one
> leg.
>
> The parents in this story are like many of us.
>
> We find it easy to love those who are good-looking or fun to
> have around, but we don't like people who inconvenience us or
> make us feel uncomfortable.
>
> We would rather stay away from people who aren't as healthy,
> beautiful, or smart as we are.
>
> Thankfully, there's someone who won't treat us that way.
> Someone who loves us with an unconditional love that welcomes us
> into the forever family, regardless of how messed up we are.
>
> Tonight, before you tuck yourself in for the night, say a little
> prayer that God will give you the strength you need to accept
> people as they are, and to help us all be more understanding of
> those who are different from us.
>
> Exodus 14:14 The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your
peace.

Same Sex Marriage
During the weekend in Saskatchewan there was a debate going on about same sex marriage. jack Layton the former NDP leader stated that people in canada will start to notice human rights in canada. The idea of the debate was for saskatchewan to give equal, rights to same sex marriage and not to stop there , but to give same rights, freedoms and equality as a husband and a wife would get. Helena Pike, from the Lloydminster constituency stated that there should be another way of having the same rights as the rest of canadas population with out using marriage as an option. Premier Calvert didnt vote for or against same sex marriage in Saskatchewan Premier Calvert stands firm and says the decision is for the federal government.

I believe that same sex marriage should be allowed and that 2 people of the same sex should be treated as the rest of the province.

Erin Scriven and Lisa Stumborg got married in Saskatoon ( Saskatchewan ). They are the first known couple to be married legally in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan is the seventh jurisdiction in
the country to legalize same sex marriages.

Today my mom took my cat to the vet because the cat was acting weird. After arriving home i was told that my cat is dieing and she only has under 3 WEEKS TO LIVE. What is has is FELINE cancer. The cancer is affecting her little liver in which she isnt eating or drinking water at all and she is pucking all the time.

We also have another cat in the house hold who's name is Purrel that grew up with Ivy the one with cancer. What the vets said is that Purrel that we are going to be taking in for blood tests as soon as possible is probably infected by Ivy by sharing the same water dish , same food dish , sharing the same litter box also can be given to the other cat by brushing .

When the cat gets the cancer the cat only has 3 years to live. In which both cats are only 3 years old . The only good thing is that we didnt have these cats from the begging they had 2 other owners. Though we had them for 2 years now so it is hard.

Ivy was 8 pound when we first took her to the vet for her shots and checkup and now 2 weeks later she is under 5 pounds. We are planning to put her down though we are not sure yet .

This is all the depressing news i have for today so ttyl.

NEW
I have been told and thinking that i haven't been updating my journal enough and YES i haven't been. So from now on i am going to try to update you on my life 3 days out of the week and sometimes on the weekend. The only new news i have is that i am doing great in school and i hope to kep on doing good. And i am going for my license tomorrow in 8:30 AM right before school at 9:00AM i am hoping to go to school and tell my brothers and all my friends that yes i got my lecence.

Interesting comment:

What my brother drives is a 1992 Ford AeroStar. A Van . The van has a 3.0 L 170 horse power V6 engine in it. Every weekend we race people in the van and we always win. You think Trans Am's are fast we raced a Trans Am and they lost. We also raced a 2004 Sunfire and which people always thought was fast , but i guess not. We raced Saturns, Mustang GT's, Neons,and FireBirds and they all lost. The only challenge are the 2004 Chevy Trucks with V8 engines and the 2002 Dodge Dakota with V8's and V10 engines. The van weighs 5,000 LBS and we still win and when it is full with passengers it is 5,700 LBS.

Last night people thought they should follow us so they did and they where right behind the back end of the van the whole way in there 1989 Ford Thunderbird so we thought to take them on a dark dirt road with lots of turns and curves. SO we floored the van and was going 110 Km's down the road and took the sharp corner and almost flipped the van . After looking behind us we thought the T-Bird flipped , but at least it didn't.

Well thats all i have to say so ttyl.

the AFA
The American Family Association has arranged a boycott of all Proctor and Gamble products because they feel that P and G treats values homosexuals too much. You can see their boycott plans HERE.

I encourage all of you, to contact Proctor and Gamble and let them know that you support them 100%, and that are against the boycott targetting them from the American Family Association. I'll work on trying to get a form letter up, to send to them....or something like that. Maybe there's already one out there....

To send your messages of support to three of the Proctor and Gamble Executives - click HERE

more poetry
(x-posted)
Hey guys, another assignment for class, only this one was more fun because it could be about anything. So naturally I wrote about raving! :OP I wrote two poems, and I'm not sure which to go with, or if they're good...so please, feedback would be appreciated.

The first one is more of like expressive thoughts or actions describing the scene. The second one is about the same thing but more of a narrative take. I have to submit one for class, which do you like?
