Now to those who lost someone in this war and in the plane crashes I give you my favorite poem that has helped me though so many hard hard trials in my life that I honestly think that I could never get through and then I read this:

Foot Prints

-Carolyn Carty, 1963

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed He was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from His life. For each scene He noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to Him and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of His life flashed before Him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of His life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of His life.

This really bothered Him and He questioned the LORD about it. LORD you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me.

The LORD replied, my precious, precious child, I Love you and I would never leave you! During your times of trial and suffering when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.

This is honestly my prayer to you that keep living! Don't give up, you loved one would not want you to completly shut down, they would want you to find the happiness in life, do thing that you enjoy and make you happy!! I know this is true cause I had to do the same thing when my dad went to Afganistan for 18 month. It felt like I had lost him and I had to find ways to make myseld happy and I worked and finding enjoy in the small and simple things in life.

I will alway remeber those who have passed for my freedom even though 99.9% of them will never meet me so that I can thank them for their strength and bravery and love.
