| A year already, June 22 my Darling son and my only Child was murdered, in an ambush, in the far away land of Iraq. Patrick give out his last breath, his precious blood soaked the gray powder soil. Because of his sacrifice, and the sacrifice of all our sons, beautiful Peace and Light must overcome the evil darkness of our corrupted government. Patrick was a Peace Keeper to the end. We, are dearly missing his powerful presence, his gentle love and compassion, his caring attention to both his children, Janessa 3, and Patrick Junior 10. They both try to make some sense out of the cruel reality, some days, his Spirit's presence is strongly overwhelming, we can catch the sent of flowers, lights will go on without anyone touching the switch. A picture frame will collapse by itself, in front of your eyes. Patrick is very much watching over us, but, what would I give to hear him say gently: I love you Mom... Silvia, Patrick's wife, and my adopted daughter, smile bravely at us, we hug each other through our tears, we dearly love each other, and we will face tomorrow with hope [if we have a tomorrow to live in!] On June 22 we will take a look at our lives, what have accomplished in a year? Are we OK? Life must go On. The 579 will meet at the house that day and the soldiers will talk about surviving Patrick's death, and how their return from Iraq with 3 deaths in the Unite, how profound of an impact that is, how different are they all today? by Nadia McCaffrey |
