I have been told that the trauma I went thru took it's toll -- stuck in fight and flight, adrenal over load, by product, hair loss, exhaustion, tummy roll.Think of my Dad, Dad was 18 years old, WW2, Oct - Nov, 1944, France, beaches had been cleared proceeded to Holland,
Dec. January 44-45 Battle of the Bulge, Belgium, very important battle, Hitlers failed attempt to divide the Allied armies and conquer them and failed. Dad fought in this battle.
Dad also fought in the Battle of Roer and they went on in to Northern Germany , Hannover and the war ended in May 1945.
I am extremely exhausted as if I have flat tire inside my soul. I am just happy my Dad is alive and we are talking today. Today is a day to be proud, a day to shed tears for courageous souls, loved ones lost. Sad piece in The New York Daily News of a retired NYPD Dad that works at a cemetery so he can be close to his son's grave. I can't fined today's article in NYDaily News search engine but here is one http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/2006/10/22/2006-10-22_dad_s_grave_duty__tending_to.html
I also think of Sept. 11 and how many of our front line died in the line of duty and also served in the military but to date the mayor refuses them their simple respect due their rank and they should all be together on the memorial. They should have be honored from the very first day at the site but the largest loss of rescue workers in our Nation's, state's, city's history remain invisible and as I said many served in the military, many were decorated by the military and by with in their departments.
Mike Bloomberg along with John Whitehead ex chair of Goldman Sachs and a World War 2 vet did not want to make them special but they are special and every day 24 hours 7 days a week these two guys are treated special because of their immense wealth and connections.
Another sad and angry note, another toll on my health was dealing with Jim Power when he fell and broke his wrist and shoulder. The VA hospital did not x ray his hip was he was there and did not follow up with any social worker which he clearly is in need of and far more.
He is now homeless and he seems in deteriorating health and I am sad to tell you I hear Jesse Jane's paw is infected and she too is in need of medical care. I had arranged for the Animal Medical Center to treat her from a special fund they have but Jim became so belligerent and I am not a trained professional and apparently there is no trained professional involved. I had to cut him off for my health because the hair loss became excessive going from bad to worse. He could easily bring her to a local vet he knows....just like he could be getting more and better Vet benefits than he is getting.
