This sounds exactly like my grandpa. I always thought of him as my dad, he and my grandma raised me from when I was a toddler. He thought of me as his daughter even though we weren't blood related. he died when I was 11 and I've never cried and hurt so badly for someone like that since, not even at funerals of the people I loved and cared about, I felt as if I couldn't shed a single tear to match the hurt I was feeling when they died, and even then that hurt seemed dull compared to the pain I felt for his death. I never knew your chest can auctually hurt from grief and heartbreak until then. He only whipped me once, and when I left to go to school he broke down crying. He said he would never whip me agian and he stayed true to that. He would tell me bedtime stories every night of his time in the army, my favorite one of his is when he was stuck in Germany because he took the wrong train. There was these college girls who were on the train with him and he kept asking if this was the right train, the girls didn't respond because they were embarrassed that they couldnt speak english well enough. Eventually one of the girls told him which train he was currently on. He said his boss (I can't remember what exactly he was, so I'll stick wirh boss for now) was so angry with him because he couldn't come home to the states until a few days later. We would laugh like crazy when he told that story. Some details I left out because I couldn't properly remember all of the story. My grandma, Mommom, has constant nightmares about him. About his death or him leaving forever. She comes to my room when she has those nightmares and she lays down with me and I'll just talk to her, telling her stories and experiences I've had or just making them up as I go. sometimes I try and tell her one of Pa's stories but I can't ever remember the whole story clearly, it always frustrates me. It's like trying to walk through a fog made of half formed dreams, trying to figure out what comes first or last. did I miss a detail, didn't someone say something before the tank shot, didn't he word it differently? I'm 16, going on 17 and I'm scared of growing up. Mainly because I don't have my Pa to guide me through life and to teach me what I need to do to prepare for adult hood. Sorry for my rambling, I know it can be annoying to some people but watching this video felt as if I was watching my childhood and it made me feel bittersweet. It felt good getting this off of my chest. so thank you for listning, to whoever read my whole comment.

I haven't been able to cry in years, about 4 years ago I had a serious battle against depression, it had caused me to shut off all of my emotions and I became an emotionless husk just drifting day to day. I have since gotten better but ive never been able to cry since then. Its not like I don't want to, I actually wish I could sometimes, but I think I mentally shut myself off from crying to avoid emotions back then and never got it back.

My family members that i know of were in wars. My uncle and my tio fought in the vietnam war. My uncles father fought in ww2 he was shot during the d-day invasion and lived but later died from lead cancer(from what ive been told). I had a different uncle that died earlier this summer and was cremated at the veterans memorial center in arizona though i am not sure what war he fought in or if he was in a war cause i never knew he was a veteran untill we went to the VMC. And the gathering that we had at his death i saw a man that was in partial uniform(greem shirt/camo pants/black boots/and a military cap) ive never seen him as i have alot of family members from my dads side..most i dont even know and only seen them in photos..iam guessing he was in iraq. Those are the ones i know of maybe others most likely not though.

It’s not much, but please... I care a lot for these people. This is my Home; and after watching this, it brought me back to when I was a Kid. I was one of the Kids who ran after getting hit with caps like that, and there are so many stories here to listen to, guys.... you may not even see this, but I won’t stop posting about Tiffin on the coming videos. This is my Home, even if I’ve only been here for two years. This place is rich and vibrant, even if I’m the surface it’s not that much. Just ask them, and they’ll tell. Former escorts, children of mobsters, survivors of abuse, survivors of gang bangs and riots. Fighters and Strivers for a Better Tomorrow, Come to Tiffin, and you will Find them... please.

These are good stories but they sound so scripted. In this one he teases a disabled kid as a child and out of shame. In another one a bookworm learns about the world via a library and ends up working in one as she gets older. It seems so cliche and unlikely to happen in reality. Things work unexpectedly for the most part
