Life is a journey sometimes

Sometimes I’ve battled my demons head on. Sometimes they almost win. I’ve sat and thought that life isn’t worth the fight. I’ve done things I’m not proud of and I sleep on the graves of many. Was it worth it? Is it really a journey or just a destination? But I look at my life’s work. My children and grandchildren and realize I’ve done pretty good on this 3 stone from the sun. And when I’m really in the dark place, I listen to this song. If you ever find yourself in the dark, call someone. Listen to this song. And hear the words. It makes much more sense. To live in the present tense…

 
The other day I watched some war movie about Afghanistan, with my wife which I don’t do often cause I will cry,and I made the whole dam movie, then ending credits stated about the guys who got awards for what happened and the names of the ones who died, then I fuckin cried I was soooooo close to making it.
 
I can’t watch the “based on true story” war movies. Because I know that somewhere there is a loved one/buddy that lost someone FOR REAL.
 
Marine. Wait till you hit your 50s. It’s so bad. I have a date I have that I honor one Marine that hits close to home. Picked him up in the desert. Put him in a body bag. I celebrate his life with the Marines in my club the date of his death. I can’t get 5 words out to honor him and I lose it. It’s been a lifetime ago, and it still hurts. There’s others. But this one is really bad. He was a great Marine and close to retiring. I was the one who called him for the mission. I’m crying now typing this.
 
@TBU Thank you for saying that. I thought it was just me getting old and soft. I find myself questioning more and more lately (my 50s). Not bad or good just pondering. I’ve showed my wife pics of (marine) buddies when we were all young…sadly when she asks, theres a couple that got killed. I’ve put all my photos away. Maybe forever.
 
Never do that. I bring my pictures out once in a while and just look at their faces. And then sparks a call and a talk. I stay in touch with a lot of my buddies in the Corps. It’s just part of my life I won’t forget or give up. And 50s suck. So many things I thought I would never happen to me, happen now. It’s just an adjustment. And every year gets harder. 😂. I’ll be 58 in a couple months. Trying to keep it strong for 60. :+1:t3:😁:+1:t3:
 
We’re about the same age. I haven’t looked at my pics in a few years. My wife insists on having my boot camp pic hanging on the wall. Thanks for the great posts.

I didn’t think that you were 58 brother I thought you were 50.
Your strong as hell mentally and physically from what I see and we all have a broken part that no one sees im on the way to get my medication right now to make that broken part get covered over a bit so it isn’t always on my mind.
