Dear Kathy, all we can do on this journey of life is learn. We do the best we can with the knowledge we have. When we feel like we fall short, we should forgive ourselves like we forgive others. All Veterans have my respect because you served your country. OUR Country now needs to serve you. If I can ever do anything to help you, please don't hesitate to let me know. Sending love Patriot. Give yourself the love and compassion you give others.
