It's much colder there.
In all seriousness, N. has an acquaintance/friend from high school who he reconnected with via Facebook. He now gets updates from this guy whose a Marine in Iraq. That's far. That's scary. That man's poor wife. I have to think she'd love her big fears to be alone with a baby in New England.
It's all about keeping it in perspective, right?

Did you have to read "Man's Search for Meaning" freshman year? I remember Frankl wrote something along the lines of, "Pain is like a gas; it'll spread to fill whatever container it's given."
The idea is nobody's got a monopoly on pain. Perspective is good when you can muster it, but when you can't - no need to downplay the importance of your own feelings.
Meantime, hope your pain leads to more posting. Welcome to the blogosphere!
Glad you're here.
