Today I hung my head in sorrow 

Today I hung my head in sorrow

I am sad and angry that this war has not come to an end. Stop this "fighting for our freedom" bullshit already! We are losing too many lives in Iraq and it's not our freedom we are fighting for. Today I got a phone call that someone I know from high school was killed in a suicide bombing. I can't imagine as a mother getting that news on Mother's Day. I will pray for his family and rejoice for his soul that is now in Heaven. The family is requesting not to be contacted at this time but I hope they have a public service for him so we can go pay our respects. He was always a nice guy in school, not one of those jerky types. It's so sad. I am still in shock. I'll always remember him for his nice casual conversations in the hallways at James Madison H.S. and those beautiful eyes and baby face. I'll post a link once his name is release to the press. Out of the 4 people we have known that have gone to Iraq, one has come back injured and with severe mental anguish and the other was KIA (killed in action). What is that saying about our odds? My brother in law leaves in November. Please Lord, bring this to an end (and no, I am not talking to you Mr. President). Rest in peace my friend.

Love
Rhobin
