The title is a bit of a lie. He's not M.I.A in all honestly.

Basically, on Wednesday, found out that a friend of mine (who lives in America) lost his brother in the Afghanistan war. Both were in the army. Blaine was killed by a roadside bomb on Monday, and Logan's unit was only a number of miles away when it happened. I haven't been able to talk to Logan since it happened, as he's been travelling back to his home with the body... I hate saying that.

I don't know why I'm putting this on here. I didn't know Blaine, but I feel like I did. Logan was my first true love and I hate people being in pain, especially emotion because there is no quick and easy fix for it. You can't give some a few painkillers and they'll be fine for a few hours.

Blaine was also a newly wed. He got married in arch just past there. And was 23 (or 22 not entirely sure). And even though I didn't know him, it hurts. I can't help but cry when I think about it and I'm so worried about his family and friends but I can't contact any of them. I don't even know if Logan is back home yet or not. Last I heard he was on his own stuck in Kuwait...

I guess I just want reassurance or something... Which is so selfish of me I know... But I care so much about Logan and it hurts me to know there is nothing I can do to make it better.

i am sorry to hear about your grave loss
i have had friends lose people in their lives and it just doesn't feel that great to be honest.
maybe you can email him or visit him when he gets back and just let him no you are there for him and make him feel better knowing that he has you for support
hope this helps
again i am truly sorry about the loss of your friend

Thanks. I've already contacted him through facebook, because that's where I found out about it all. I'm not sure if I want to email him or anything again at the moment, I think he might just want to be left alone. But I'm just really worried about him. I don't think he's lost someone in his family before, and if he has he was a lot younger. Logan and Blaine were really close too. I just hope he's as okay as he can be.
