IRAQ WAR & MBA...! OR A MYANMAR..

What the heck! What's there anything that a Myanmar gotta do with the IRAQ War! Did Myanmar send its troops to Iraq in support of US aha.. Some of you might wondering.

MBA...& IRAQ WAR! scratching your grey hairs and yet still couldn't figure out? What the Master of Business Administration, the prestigious accolade only associates with Head of Business world is tagged with IRAQ War here? Aheh! It kind of puzzled to me as well why I come to this title..haha..

Anyway guys. It goes like this... it's nothing extraordinary..

I am going to talk about MBA, Myanmar Born American. I was going through some Myanmar's blogs who base at various parts of the world. Particularly two blogs from US attract me with beautiful photos and things that evolved around them. Their lives are colourful and vibrant and somewhat they are there in thier careers. They both drive BMW. A hunk and a Babe. Next time I will introduce the babe to my readers here but for now, let's go back to my topic..

Midway through, say, the hunk's blog,I spotted a photo of a cool looking hunk in US Army gears. I was sure he is related to blog's owner and he is a Myanmar. Guys dont misunderstand! I was just curious why on earth a myanmar guy wearing the US Army gears. I wondered it is just a pose for a photo shoot!No..I guess.. I read the entry to find out more about him...Look at his photo here.
Back and forth between the photo and the write-up..I felt a goose bumps all over my body..a chill all over my bones..a sense of lost. I can't imagine how great the pain and the lost the family of the late Ko Wai Phyo Lwin would be...

He passed away in IRAQ WAR as a soldier of US.

My belated condolence to younger Wai Pyo(blogger) and his family..

Yes, through medias we all knew and heard about war torn Iraq. But we all would never have any idea that a casualty in Iraq War that involed a Myanmar( He might not be a myanmar anymore but common guys he is a myanmar native after all). Not even in our imagination right..

And guys.. the poem the younger Wai Phyo dedicated to his beloved brother drained my heart......I was speechless for a few minutes and motionless after reading it. I could share the pain of the younger Wai Phyo..

Read it..
.......I close my eyes and think of the past...
And held all the memories i had of you in my heart so forever it'll last...
I think of your kind hearted smile...
I remember your tears...
I hear you cry when your in fear...
Oh how i wish you can still be near...
No one has any idea how i feel inside...
I feel as if my whole world has been torn apart...
No words or anything can ever mend my wounds...

For every second you suffered...
I'll suffer for a year...
For every day without you...
I died a thousand deaths...
I honestly wish i could be with you bro...
Chilling with you in heaven drinking beer and me making fun of your fro...

I said somethings to you i never ever meant...
And those words cut deep wounds that will never mend...
You were the greatest person i ever knew...
You were the kindest person i ever met...

Wait for me bro for i will be there...
Soon as i'm done taking care of mom and dad here...
I live only for them and your memories...
You said this three times in my life...
And i replied back three times in yours...
Now i say this once more...
I love you bro...

Wait for me... I'll be there...
Till then just sit back and watch me become the men you wanted me to be...
Remember our little talks we had?
How we would be such a great person if we both had each other's qualities?
Will bro I'll live by your examples and live it through...
You'll always be here in my heart...
You'll always be there in everyone's heart...

Cause hero's never fade from one's dreams....

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER.
WAI PHYO LWIN WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR THIS COUNTRY.
2/1/1978 - 3/2/2005.
Born as a Citizen of Rangoon Burma...
Died as a Soldier of United States Of America...
