Why are you leaving?

I was 4 years old when he left. Who left? My uncle Nataniel. Left where? To the Marines. I didn't want him to. I love him so much. Once I saw him walk out that door with his luggage I burst into tears. I didn't know where he was going but i didn't care I wanted him to come back. Over the years I learned where he went and why. I still remember. Right now he is in Afghanistan. And i'm scared. Why? Because if he gets killed in war. I still video chat with him, but thats not enough for me.
