We do what we can to keep them alive. We try not to be bitter because we know that had someone cared they would still be here. If they had gotten "Strength with support" like the pin on their beret says. They believe it, they trust it. Then the military is not there for them when they need it. We pray to find forgiveness in our heart. Our faith becomes stronger then it was before because we need it more then ever before. To believe they are still with us, their spirit energy. I know your son is well aware of that playground and how proud he must feel right now. My faith is strong and I believe that our loved ones exist in the next life. I thank God every day for the blessing of 25 years.  When we say the "Our Father" we focus on; " forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us"; thats when we beg the Lord to help us find forgiveness in our hearts for those who cared so little about the emotional warfare going on in thier heads; those who could have helped them. Faith saves us, God supports us and takes care of our boys now.
 
The Lord hears good people when they cry out to him, He saves them from all thier troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.
                                        Psalms 34: 17-18

I spoke with your wife about my own son.
You are in my prayers,
