I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately. The man on the bridge. That cursed bridge. I’d put him out of my mind for years. Lately, I’ve been seeing his face again when I try to get to sleep. The image haunted my dreams for years. Now, he’s just a face I see sometimes when I close my eyes.
I can’t imagine the horror of coming upon that scene. If writing about your time deployed brings you any peace @ all, I am thankful!
I share your articles with my brother (who was in the Reserves), & my nephew (has been deployed since September).
My prayer is that your writing will bring them some kind of peace & they will not feel alone in their memories or reaction to what they have seen or experienced.
You all deserve so much more than you have been given. We as private citizens will never fully understand what you have been through & how it has impacted your lives & the lives of your loved ones.
Keep writing!!! You never know who needs to hear what you have to say. Love & prayers!
Thank you so much. Writing definitely helps me process and I do pray in some way this stuff helps others. If anything I hope my vulnerability at least shows we aren’t alone in how we feel. I truly appreciate your weekly encouragement.
Stan. I share your feelings, not about what you went through, but images that I try not to bring up in my mind. After working 20 years in the jail system there are lots of images that I tend to remember that I would rather not remember. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing from your heart. Know you are loved!
Oh man I can’t imagine that. Working for so long in that environment had to be stressful to say the least. Thank you so much for your continued support and encouragement, some weeks you and Glenna are the only reason I even attempt to write. It truly means a lot to me.
