Sometimes It's not the battle or war that does a man in, but sadly the long road home that does, as you have shown here. The sacrafice of many for the good of one...not something you hear much about these days; it's usually the other way around and one still doesn't really hear much of that either; Interesting... And what mother doesn't count her blessings for the safe return of her son... her pride and joy; her life. You've captured that beautifully too. Nice piece of work here Michael.~Scottie

PS. Diverge away, honey, diverge away. I'm sure that anything you put you pen to will turn out to be an interesting read. Good luck, and I will be eagerly awaiting your new stuff. Thank you for the reviews too..It's nice to have new people reading my work.
