Oh, Nathan..

I have known so many of you..

Fresh out of whatever school...

Fresh-faced and crazy in love with your sweetheart back in the old home town...

Parents..

Pals..

And then you find yourself in The Bad Place.

Your wide-eyed take turns flinty.
Steel.
Hard.

And you just want to get back Home.

But not like this.

I pray that you will rest in Peace, Nathan.

1. amen

and peace to all of the victims, their loved ones, everywhere the world over. premature death is tragic. youthful death at the hands of another is senseless yet on it goes and goes. this young man, the nearly 3000 fatalities prior to his, the people who will die in this war from today to when it ends, if it will ever end, are all victims of murder in my opinion. and what sickens so thoroughly is that the murderers are the people in charge of this country, than so recently i believed to be the best country on earth.

pray for peace pray for change...and for Nathan's family, pray for comfort. as a bereaved mother i know too well what a dark and lonely place the grieving mother is forced to...
