I know my post has provoked many questions and understandably so. Though I need not justify myself, sometimes a little light shed in dark places allows us some introspective of why we attack the outreached hand of others. There was no malicious intent, this is why I did not hide behind fictitious names and avatars. This was a genuine need of wanting the opportunity to say a final goodbye. While our service men and women put their lives on the line for the lives of many, individually some are fighting for their own lives and have been given a short time here upon this earth. We all have a number. I know that there will always be haters and cynics; countries wouldn't need their military defense if we were all keepers of peace. They were like family in my newly splintered biological one; they always had my back and were great friends to me and I loved them dearly. I never had a chance to say good bye back then; jealously has a way of getting between friends and love is what allows them to go their own way. Time quickly passes, life gets in the way and we walk our own journeys; sometimes alone. Those were great and innocent times and I wanted to thank them for the times they walked along side me and held my hand in uncertain times; my own personal family war. Yes it is true, tomorrow never comes so live for the moment live for today. Forgive, release and bless. Miracles never cease to exist and love never fails to produce more love. From this earth we all come, to this earth we shall all return. Some die in the line of duty, some fly faster than Angels fly(Big &Rich track), disease and even broken hearts; young and old alike. When we are called to rest high on that mountain, we heed the call. Live life with no regrets. Thank you for your compassion.
