Reflections

As tomorrow draws near and we acknowledge another anniversary of my nephew’s death in Kuwait in 2004, I remember several things most. Not knowing the whole truth about his death until about three weeks or so ago has made it more painful. Two years of having a cloud hang over us as the true details of how Mike died were not available yet. One of our most troubling questions was whether or not he had suffered before he died. Was he alone at that final moment. Fortunately “no” was the answer to both questions. Those two answers lifted a great weight from my family.

How has Matt Maupin’s family survived the “not” knowing for all this time?

God Bless you Matt. God Bless your family. Please come home safely.
