I agree completely...She is an incredible woman, as was RB a top bloke! Both strong in their own way.

What happens on the battlefield, what my mate RB had to do, what he witnessed...It stays with a bloke and changes him. It did him anyway. There were rare moments when the bloke I knew came back, but a lot of the time he was detached, aloof...Almost like we were not even there sometimes. It's difficult to explain.

RB was a brave man..Decorated in battle, and one of the most together blokes one could meet...But the PTSD ate him up from the inside out...He was an empty shell in the end.

Anyway, I remember him fondly, and miss the bloke that he was before his deployments...And we rally around his wife and family, the friends group I mean, and we support those he left behind.

Thanks for commenting. I know it's probably a difficult post to comment on.
