Pfc Aaron Thomas Nemelka June 1st 1990-November 5th 2009

In the afternoon of Thursday November 5Th I received a text message from Jon saying that there has been a shooting at Fort Hood, My heart instantly sunk. So I turn on the TV and get on my computer to watch on the Internet. As I am watching and Frantically calling and trying to text Aaron I start to shake tremendously. I watch and start looking around to find where they are being taken. I called the metroplex hospital first and then the other two with them all saying he is not here. Two of the three hospitals shut down to the public and would not take anymore calls so I just called the Metroplex about every half hour until the receptionist gave me a new number to call to the family support group, little did I know what was about to come about. I then Have all my co-workers on the phone calling trying to get through. I was able to get through in about 5 mins. From that point I was Given 8 Different numbers of people to call. Once I got down to the Sargent and Luetenet I knew I could go no where else. As I sat and spoke with Aaron's Lt He had a shaky voice and told me that he couldn't release any information at this time, Little did I know that a Chaplin was on his way to the house. It was around 10:30 pm when I called the LuetentinT one more time to see if he heard that I was overcome with a feeling that Aaron was gone.Trying to brush my emotions aside I decide to leave work only to get home and have Jon call saying that he was gone. I rushed up the stairs and burst into my parents room sobbing, they instantly knew and were also sobbing, I then leave to go over to be with The whole family running just about every red light bawling my eyes out.I Called a friend from work who I knew was still working just crying he knew, I know that he was prompted by the spirit in what he then told me. With talking to him I opened my eyes to see that our Heavenly Father has a plan and that Aaron's mission here on earth was full filled and that it was time to return home. With so many emotions running through my head and questions that I needed answers to, I soon turned to anger and hatred How could one of his own do something like this? How could you just Murder someone? How could out of 52,000 people on that base Aaron be the one to go? Aaron was so excited to serve his country, He was looking forward to coming home in December to be with the ones he loves most, His family,Aaron was also planning on asking the love of his life Kristin to marry him.I guess in this life time we will never know why he had to go like this or at this timing. We can only trust in the lord and try to be at peace. All I can say is that Aaron was a good kid and that he loved his country with all his heart, He loved his family, He Loved being around his nephews and niece more than anything.This has been by far the harest thing that I have ever had to go through. Aaron was my favorite and I think that everyone knows that! I have always felt so protective over him and now he is gone.Some one posted this on his fan page on facebook and I really like it, Psalm 30:5 "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.Sorrow lasts through this night. Joy will come. Rest In Peace Aaron. You walk with your father in heaven now."

We will miss you Aaron. I love you Airbear.
