Dedicated to "Julia in the Philippines"

I decided to get on this blog to write something. I googled my screen name "pinayarmypa" out of curiosity to find out how many times it would show up. One of them was from one of my entries on a blog called "Julia in the Philippines" that I wrote while I was in Afghanistan on deployment. As I was reading the comments, I saw a friend's sister's name and she wrote a comment as if "Julia" has passed away which got me wondering what happened. I was saddened to learn that "Julia" died in the Philippines. So, after not writing on this blog for so many months now, I wanted to enter this latest blog to say how much I've enjoyed reading her blog while I was deployed because it made me think of the Philippines. It was interesting to read through her eyes many of the things I experienced when I lived there. It made me remember many memories of my happy childhood and how simpler it was back then. May you rest if peace, "Julia".
