One Third of My Light Is Gone

"...And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it,, and the night in like manner." --Rev. 8:12

I have three sons. One of them is in the spirit world. On October 26, 2009, one third of the light in my life went out forever.

From today's The Daily Beast:

"WAR AT HOME
4. Soldier Suicides Called Emergency
Expect the number of suicides among American soldiers to increase, the top U.S. military official said Wednesday, as the more troops come home after years of wartime service. "The emergency issue right now is suicides'' said Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Over the weekend, Fort Hood, in Texas, saw four suicides, including one murder-suicide. To combat the trend, military officials have tried to lengthen the time between deployments and increase awareness of the threat..."

Sometimes I wonder fi Maris's military duties triggered PTSD from past life memories, of which he would speak to family and friends. He recalled bits and pieces of past lives on battlefields in the Middle Ages, the Third reich, etc.

We just had a suicide last week at the new base I have been re-assigned to. It is epidemic in the military.
In 2009 more soldiers committed suicide than soldiers dying due to enemy action.
