I'm sunburned, crabby and went a 22 yr old soldier's funeral today.

I am breaking my rule about no liquor on weekdays and having several vodka martini's.

:toast: DUers.

1. Thank you for posting the thread

about your experience at the funeral. It is something that makes me pause, brings tears to my eyes and helps to remind me that the war is not just something on TV, or on the internet or just another reason to be pissed off at this administration. It is a tragedy that takes the lives of so many.. lives that we cannot get back... lives that are cut so short and we will never know what could have been...

The events of your day certainly would have taken its emotional toll on me as well...

:hug:

2. I'm very numb

and it's not the vodka yet. I need think about what I saw for a few days.

I can't get that mom's sobs out of ears. I was so close the entrance to the church I could hear her.

3. Go ahead.

Sometimes it just hurts too much. :cry: I know I've been drinking a little more than usual these days.

Thanks for posting. I don't know what to say. :grouphug:
