My brief departure was due to a similar loss. I, for a time, felt I could not continue here. But I’ve decided to return to my CAF family. There is much goodness here. Let us pray for one another in our grief.
 
I’m sorry for your loss, I had an idea this might have been why. May God comfort you.
Obviously you were missed to high heaven here, I hope some of the worry from your family here that time you were gone could offer some comfort, since it is obvious you are cared about a great deal here.

Yes. We only teased because it seemed like you were playing a hoax on us.
 
I will offer prayers for you.

I do have one request however, can you remove the filter or lessen the contrast on your avatar? It was a pleasant photo before and now it looks like you have come back from the dead. 😵 Unless that’s intentional. 😉

You slipped away
So alone
In an old night shirt
As the stars melted
And dripped into the sea
As we knocked upon your door
And found you in the dark.
Note beside you
With verse dark as Poe
Your song of goodbye
Unsung
Written in ink
As dark as raven eyes
So unlike you
These words
These wounds
So unlike you
Not to be alive
We should have seen it
Yet we still think
It can’t be true
We should have seen it
But your gentle smile
Still betrays us
Lying there so peacefully
Your quick wit duped us
And made us believe
That the world was kind
That our problems were not so big
That life was still worth living
But truth has a way
Of settling in
Of setting us straight
Of making itself
So irrevocably

Since you’re not dead, I had to ask Jesus to give the indulgence to the Colonel who had actually expired because that’s the rules.

I can slot you in for a Divine Mercy today though. Everybody’s allowed a Divine Mercy.
 
If I kick off, can you put me on your list? You seem pretty on top of it.
 
Praying for your heart to heal.
Please take comfort from your many friends here on CAF.
May the camaraderie we share help to lighten your spirit.
 
Your words are so eloquent and expressive @TheOldColonel, I am so sorry for your loss. I pray that you and your family will find comfort in our Lord. May he wrap you in his peace.
 
I concur with your decision and gladly accept my disqualification. Well done, soldier! Hoorah!
