So yesterday was Memorial day. The day we give thanks for those who gave their lives for our freedom. Since I write these the night before, Monday is slipping away as I type. Today was a normal day around our house. It was a little tough because it was a long weekend and she was home 3 days. I know, I sound horrible but the tension gets a little thick around day three. One more day and the silence could be shattered giving heat to a battle of our own.
But this was not my day; it wasn't her day; it was the day for those who, despite their personal needs, and home crises, repeatedly put their lives on the line. I've been blogging for five days and I can't shut up about my problems, while the daily death toll in our military rises. Whether you believe the cause of the war to be just, you must believe that every individual who serves, is sacrificing a premium. A premium I'm not sure I could pay myself, and I would like to think their sacrifice is worth more than my whining. So I will take my blogging day as a day of silence.
For those who have come before, and those who serve in the future, thank you, and may God bless and keep you.
