I had a friend that
shared with me that his friend opted out of this world. They had served in the Marine Corps and had experienced things which we could never comprehend as we set safely in our insulated bubbles.
My friend and I texted back and forth about this. My response: "I'm glad you felt you could share this with me. I have thought about this many times-of the things you guys have seen and maybe cannot be unseen.

We all struggle with
our demons. Some take human form, some are those nightmares we have which
can climb out of our unconscious when we are sleeping. I know for myself
that I cannot dwell in those dark corners too long.
You asked me awhile
back why you didn't put an end to your story when times got dark. I asked you
to give me some time to think about it. The short answer is this-maybe you have
it in your DNA to be in the light. That if you just make it through that dark
period that there will be enough of someone or something to make you want to
stay.
But what do I know?
I'm just a skinny, middle aged, white woman from Iowa just trying to make it
through. It is not a bad life if you have a few good family and friends, a few
good times, and a few good memories yet to be had."
