If pictures are each worth one-thousand words, I thought I'd start a thread to illustrate the shocks we BS's have received.

Cathartic? Purgative? Maybe just distractive. Join in if you like......

Anyway, this one struck me as representative:

That is DEFINITELY going to leave a mark!

The collapse of reason to fight.

Although I had a lot of challanges in my marraige, and we suffered a lot of loss, I allways believed we would win the fight at some time.

It was at the point of realizing how much I had let myself be decieved, and therefore decieved myself also, that I had no spirit left to fight. It was then I truly felt my wounds and gave up, even on myself.

If it wasn't for the children...


Note: In doing the google search for this I saw a lot of headlines about how this did not really happen in history. But it exemplifies how I felt anyways..

ML ..Was Watching "We were soldiers" last night.

When Mel Gibsons Character asked the reporter why he came to the battlefield that was so dangerous and so many were dying, and added, "Where are you from Son?", the Reporter said "Galveston, TX"..

Then Mel says, "Thats the first thing that made sense to me all day.."

Thats an Texasism if I ever heard one.. Thought of you and about every texan I ever knew. Well real Texans anyway.
