{Life's Bittersweet Symphony}

My Song
I am a symphony...
I am a collaboration of many notes.
I am not defined by a single beat or rythmn.
I write my own lyrics...

And this is my song...

Never forget...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting here eating veggies and dip and thinking about my dentist appointment tomorrow and what hell I might endure...

I'm trying to not to be too disappointmented about the lack of response to my plea for letters to Support the Troops (See post below). But I am having a hard time. Especially after I seen this picture on Yahoo when I signed on to the net tonight...

Picture released by the U.S. Army Tuesday, May 3, 2005 shows a U.S. Army soldier comforting a child fatally wounded in a car bomb blast in Mosul, 360 km (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad, Iraq, Monday, May 2, 2005. 15 Iraqis were wounded in the combined suicide bomb attack. (AP Photo/U.S. Army)

How do you ever forget carrying a dying child from a senseless act of violence of some crazed militants who would rather have a mass murderer in control of their life than live in a country run by the people?

Do you ever forget?

Can you even begin to imagine what these brave men and women go through every single day they are deployed in Iraq?

I can not...

I cried tonight.
For that innocent little child...
And for the soldier who carried that poor baby...

Maybe this picture "got" to me because it's of a child. I have kids. One about that size. I know what it is like to feel helpless when they are sick but I pray I will never ever have to be there to watch or hold them as they die. I don't know what that soldier felt. But I know it had to hurt and is an image he will probably carry will him for the rest of his life.

Do you know their are soldiers who don't even receive mail from home?
Check out Soldiers Angels about their organization and read the stories.

I feel lucky that DJ has a loving and caring girlfriend and family who send him mail and don't forget that he is half a world away in the war zone. But I wonder about the others in his troop and other battalions stationed with him. Do they? Can you imagine what it would be like to be stationed so far away and not know that the people in your own country even remember you're there?

It's sad...

But there are good people who do...

Stemily sent me an email to add to the "We Remember" book for the troops. Stemily, you are kind and giving. I won't forget. Neither will they... I am very grateful (((Hugs)))

Well, it's late and I am emotionally drained and I have to go to my torture treatment tomorrow so I need to drag myself to bed.

Thanks again Stemily!
