Leaving
After they spent as much time together as possible before he had to go, the day finally came. They said their goodbyes and Tyler’s friends and family gathered around to wish him a safe trip. The last thing anyone wanted was for something bad to happen to him while he was over there.
Tyler left for the military airport and boarded the plane back to Afghanistan for his second tour. This time it felt different for him. He was excited to fight for his country in the past, but now he had something to lose and he needed to stay alive to make sure he could come back to Mandi.
