Monday : Today John is being buried,an American soldier who fought overseas and came back home safely - married a lovely girl and then walked into a closet and shot himself dead.
Did not anyone notice he needed help -that he was broken by that terrible war in Afghanastan- that (my opinion) will never end and there will be no winners.
I pray for his Mom &Dad-his young bride of one week and all the young(so young) men
who are still over there.
I feel the world is a bit smaller-empty and meaner.
I do pray but don't understand why.

Lillian, your journal touched my heart. I don't know if this is a relative, a friend or someone you heard about. But it really makes no difference. It is still tragic. Sometimes if we are not affected personally by the news that we see on TV or read in the paper we tend to rationalize that it doesn't touch us but it should touch us all. I do know that we are losing so many men and woman in these wars and I am not sure when it will end either. I will keep you in my prayers and as always special prayers for our soldiers wherever they may be. Hugs
