There's a special group of men coming home today ... They're making the flight from Germany back to Canada ... They ARE the wounded in the recent suicide attack in Afghanistan ... They're coming home to heal ... They're coming home ...
Today their families are coming to join them ... to stand by their bedside and express their love and gratitude and their sorrow ... For the families who will later today see their Heroes, that moment will be twinged with sadness ... Others are not so lucky ... Others are still fearing the next headline ... Others are getting ready to bury thier husbands, fathers, sons, brothers and friends ...
The wounded have a long road ahead of them ...
The families of the wounded and the dead have a long road ahead of them ...
We as a people, as a nation have a long road ahead of them ...
Today, pause and say a prayer:
A prayer of thanksgiving for those coming home today ...
A prayer for thier healing ...
A prayer for their families ...
A prayer for all of us ...
And say a prayer for the dead ... and for their families ...
We may oppose the war, but when the wounded are our family and friends ... when the dead are our family and friends ... it's personal ... and all we can do is weep AND prayer ...
One day, may humanity finally hear a whisper of PEACE and may we finally listen ...
Get Well Boys !!! And welcome home ...
