“Alright bud, you ready?” “Yep. Make sure your pistols loaded.” “It is.” This was said to my best friend Roy in 1968. We were both tunnel rats in Vietnam with the 12th Cavalry Regiment. We were about to go down into a tunnel together. He told me to make sure my pistol was loaded. I said “It is.” And it was. But if forgot to cock it. And thats what made all the difference. We both went down together, I came up alone.

“Gotta go, I’m playing PlayStation” My dad committed suicide when I was 11. Called to tell me that he loved me, and not knowing what was going to happen next, I was far more concerned with my game. Still haunts me.
