Tragedy at Ft. Hood

It wasn’t so long ago that my hubby’s orders read Ft. Hood. It was to be our new home. Most of his friends and battle buddies (as he refers to them), had been sent on to Ft. Hood when their unit disbanded shortly after it’s return to Germany. Though he was discharged for combat related injuries he still gets calls from various friends that were with him in Iraq, he still gets calls from friends that trained with him. Right now we are wondering if any of them were victims the other day. I was part of an online community of military wives, and right now I am wondering if any of them just became widows. I can’t imagine losing my hubby, and I can’t imagine the pain of losing him on post, where he was supposed to be safe. My heart screams out in agony for those families who lost friends and loved ones, to those who were injured and now face the aftermath. 
May the God and Goddess stand beside you
Wrap you in their cloaks
Offer you some comfort in these dark hours
May the souls of those lost
To tragedy and troubled mind
Walk serenely in the lands beyond the veil
Feel now what must be felt
Seek what must be sought
See what needs to be seen
To allow you to move on.
Those who have fallen live on
In the hearts and minds of those who remain
Who eventually must go on living
Though life will never be the same.
Blessed be
May you all find serenity
