Think you’re having a bad day? Embrace what life has to offer you and read the last post of a brave U.S. soldier who was killed in action on January 3, 2008. It’s got a touch of funny, lots of insight, and is just plain beautiful. May God be with him and his loved ones.

Unless you have a heart of lead, you’re gonna need some tissues.

Thank you, Sara Lewis Holmes for sharing this moving post.

Consider yourself warned: I write books about rebels. I'm also a postergirlz for readergirlz, a literary advisory group for teens. Who knew going back to the teenage years would be so rewarding?
