Wow. Thanks for sharing that, winmag. Damn.
I'm going to write and send a card, and think about what else to maybe send with it. We've lost many of our troops, of course, but I wanted to let her know that this one touches us, that her husband touched us.
I may not send it this week, but maybe next. I remember after losing mom that it was comforting to hear from people who also knew her and missed her or shared some connection, even if I didn't know them. And it was good to hear from people two weeks or even a couple months later. There will be a flurry of activity now, and then people will go back to their lives and that's when the loneliness really sets in.
I don't know, Rick, if they have kids, do you know?
