This is for anyone that needs the thoughts and prayers or needs to vent...Feel free to post.
Here goes my first one.
As all of you know I've got a lot of friends in military service it seems. I'm also a gamer.
Well, a long time friend of mine for the past five or so years happened to vanish from the grid a couple years back when we were both having hard times. His name is Tre'San. As I was gaming tonight I happened upon another player that I wanted to talk to about a few gaming matters. As we swapped IM's and his seemed familiar...I soon found out he was my friend Tre.
Well we started catching up tonight. I found out he'd joined the Marines and was out for two tours in Iraq. On the last couple months of his tour he was shot in the shoulder...I believe he said it was two..or maybe it was three times? The last bullet barely missed his throat. His shoulder is in-fact completed destroyed. He has been honorably discharged and is safely back home.
It also turns out that he'd gotten married somewhere along the line and she is pregnant (with his child as far as we know). Well, the thing is. He returned with PTSD. He slept on his couch with a loaded 45. looking at his door every night for a month. He kept thinking he heard people outside and thought it was the Tally's waiting to get him any minute. It seems his wife told him she couldn't handle it and she left him, only to go to his old friend that she's been seeing the entire time he was on tour.
He's very dear to me and I just wished to send my prayers out to him and ask for others to do the same. He's currently waiting on a PAT test to see if it's his child...if so..she's agreed to sharing custody. That's actually made him smile a bit and he's crossed his fingers.
Thanks guys.
