So I need some family advice.

So I have a niece that's in custody of my aunt (no not that one Charlie). Now I don't see her much which is the problem. The reason I don't see her much is my fault. The reason I don't get close to her (or anyone really) is because I'm enlisting in the army next year and I plan to be in for a while. I know kids get clingy, I remember when I was a kid I would cry for an hour anytime my sister left the house. I also know what it feels like to lose someone close (dad died when I was seven). If I do get killed I would rather it effect as few people as possible. So my options are.. A. Don't get close that way she won't miss me. B. get close have her miss me and possibly have serious mental effects on her if I get killed. So which should I do? I want to be part of her life, but I don't want to have to worry about hurting her tremendously if something happens.

    Don't get close to certain members of your family because you're going to be joining the military? I say this a lot but this has got to be the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life. The very people that you are protecting, you wish to not get close to because you could possibly die? Yet you could die today as you walk out of your house. Death happens every day and you couldn't possibly even try to predict the outcome of someone else's life due to your passing. You have no idea whether or not you would even be able to join yet you prevent your niece from knowing you? Ridiculous!
