#8. I didn't suffer from PTSD, but I changed. People change in life, and not just because of war. I saw this in life before the military, and over and over again during the thirty-one years I served. We can't expect people to stay the same forever; we need to respect those changes.

the soot covered glass ~
the feeble man wandered by
in this ritual morning pass ...
