Depression can be such a hard thing on service people...there still is far too much of a stigma within that culture concerning the addressing of emotional issues somehow being equated to weakness. If there's a lesson to be learned, it's important for all of us to diversify the sources of our joy and peace in this world. It's difficult to achieve balance if your purpose and happiness becomes too connected to one particular person, career, identity, or pursuit.

I hope your dear friend is OK and that he finds something to fill up that emptiness he feels. Take care.

It is hard to read about such things. Have felt that way about some folks I have and still do love and care about. My own mother begged me to put her out of her misery in the last days of her life.

You did what is best, you are his lifeline to reality. He let you know he loves you. You have done and will continute to love and care about him nad so expressed it to him. None of us want to see loved ones in physical or emotional pain. We share that pain. Your thoughts about wishing he would have met a warriors death is a sharing of that feeling. It is the honored way throughout history.

Read Homer's Iliad or a biography of Patton. Tam may have some writings on the traditions of the Asian warrior class. Warriors in all of history feel lost when not pursuing their profession.

Let himkonw he is valued for that service and that his life is a value to others. It certainly is of value to you. He like all of us, need to be needed. let him konw you need him when he next contacts you.
