I hungered for our lost relationship. A conversation was all I got. There s no permenance in war Grab what you can and go. The guy you met yesterday Has no arms today. His friend joined him, lost both legs. This is the hell of war. And then when it's over Your hell just begins. Your mind is full of slaughter And friends dying as you talked.

Having never faced that horror, I can only imagine. But, it helps explain what happened to a couple of my uncles. One who disappeared into alcoholism and obscurity and the other, an outward hero, but also so troubled, he left his family and disappeared completely until he was found 40 years later after he died in another life.
