After my shower I dressed in my best uniform of denim and flannel To bury a man that was friend to me and mentor to my son At the memorial I noticed the odd looks induced by this odd man with long hair and gray beard Then scanned the assemblage for the handful that know who I am That know I was there for my son and the man resting under that flag And not so the rest might feel better about themselves ~wranx In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward". |

Your words, so simply stated, moved me so. My prayers go out to all those, who have lost loved ones, whiled serving their country. My personal prayers to you and your son. Might I also add, that you are being far too humble, for a man who can touch the heart and soul of so many others through your writing.

Well if this is like decoupage, you have layered it seamlessly. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

You were there for your friend and that's all that matters. Sorry for your loss. Well written piece. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

I've not read the others replies to this, I felt safer in doing so. I see several layers of meaning to this, and I choose to hold you with the one that hit hardest... May they both rest in peace. |
