Stories about Linda

The stories about Linda really made me think. That could happen to anyone. A 9 year old girl weith cancer who has to wear a red cap just because she has little hair and stitches in her head. I couldn't even amagine if i were Tim what i would have thought at the age of 9. not knowing what is really going on. Not understanding that she might not live through this and that you may never see her again. I mean just the thought that he still thinks about her several years later and make's her come alive in her dreams kinda tells you how much she ment to him when he was 9. But now she is just a memory and the only way he will see her is if he dies. But i don't think thats gunna happen any time soon. Also Rat Kiely shooting himself in the foot just so he can get out of there. Is it really that bad that people are shooting themselfs just to leave? I would have never thought about that. Just because you are having nightmares and are going crazy with these visions of dead people. But thats what the war is about. Dead people. There is no way to escape it. once youv'e seen it, it will never leave your mind.
