That's profound, encouraging and heartbreaking at the same time. We are fortunate to experience the depth of love and devotion, but then cursed to eventually lose all that we ever loved. Such is the precarious position of being human.
What gblowfish said. We focus on all that was gained, and accept that everything has a season. I'm sure what you witnessed makes this even more difficult.
My dad died when I was 5. I met an old man today who was born in the same month and year he was, and also served in Korea. We chatted for a long while, and I thought about what might have been. It all came back for a bit, but I've grown to accept what is. May time bring its peace and acceptance.
