i am so sorry...there really aren't any words...you two have made the trip to hell, seen it and then come back.

it hurts...it hurts to lose someone who has been with you for so much...mostly for that reason. who else is left now to talk thru the visions of hell?

i know...i'm not a combat vet...but i have worked in a place where i feared for my life every day...long before terrorism was the "popular" by word it is today...long before 9/11....we were so on the terror hit list it was scary...even to the point of being blown up once laready (and take overs, riots etc)...etc...2x daily bomb searchs, hostage training etc...training not for the weak of heart and used daily.

so i know...we feared for our lives but could tell no one...but yet got to go home at night...very weird.

i came close to losing a dear friend in 9/11 in washington....and i thought...now who will i share my stuff with...who will understand?

it's a small world..and i know yours just glot a closer...again i am so sorry...please if there is anything i can do...reach out. i can listen with these long ears (see they are good for something other than stepping on them!)

Troy,
I'm so very sorry...
Losing anyone close to us is hard; this loss is gut-wrenching.
I'm still grieving for Charley...and Bonnie, my last nursing sister from Nam.
We go on
We have to

.......................

.......brings a memory on................

.......the night god introduced himself to me.......

.......was in the service..................

.......abandonment..........alone......

.........what now...........

........just started running.........like forrest.......

.......no direction......no destination.........

.......ran along side of a canal......for an hour.....

.......popped through some trees.....there was the compound.....uhmm

As a result of this incident I had to do something,something for my buddy. He was gone. It was'nt complicated, but it was from my heart and I meant it. It went like this.......

May the road rise to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the rain fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.....wherever you are bro........

Its funny how all this therapy I've been through and still am in helps to keep the past were it belongs...

Then there's my drawings on how to get right with this kinda stuff. I'd put the one I'm working on up on post...but dont know how...dont really wanna know how.....if you want....go to my profile....click drawings....then click the drawing to enlarge.....it may not ease the pain or the anger, the sadness or those uneasy feelings, but it will let you know, you ain't alone, bro.............and catherine2

Was he in combat at the time, or is this another type of passing?

(((Troy))) please return and post about how you are doing. I hope you have much support IRL for yourself. You do have support here...

I'm sorry you've lost a friend. I know that crushes the heart.
