Mickey

Mickey has one more new hip.

Just a quick note to let all know that your sis is doing fine after her surgery today. It was a very long day at the hospital - patients backed up in recovery etc but all is well and she is settled in her room for the nite with a handy morphine pump at her side. She says to tell all that she felt your love and good vibes all day. Me - I'm beat - but I'll keep you posted. Love, Mom

Dear Family,
One of the best things to have come from Chris joining the Marines has been for me to have been inspired to develop empathy for every mother's son and daughter who has ever been in Iraq or Afghanistan or Vietnam or has been a member of the U.S. military at any time ever. I believe that their experiences, whether of active or inactive duty, hold the core truth and key to the healing of our dysfunctional and suffering nation.
Ed Tick, author of War and the Soul, says "The first casualty of war is truth . . . "
Please watch his 10-minute video on YouTube.com entitlted "Healing PTSD with Ed Tick."
Then buy the book, read it, and send it to your favorite veteran, if it appeals to you.
love, peace,
mickey
