The phone call

Today I learned that one of the Soldiers I went off to war with in 2009 was laid into the ground two weeks ago.

Sometimes survivors guilt is easy to deal with, sometimes it's hard to deal with.  Being in the Infantry you know that you signs on the line and you takes your chances.  Still when someone else catches the bullet it doesn't make you feel any better that it could have been you.

Sometimes I think forgetfulness is a blessing of age, some things just need to be let go.
