Over the Shock and GALing 6

[Thinker]

WAW's mother gave up the ghost with Smiley's Person just 6 weeks physically in CONUS but mentally still in the AO, and there was not dam thing coming from me in the way of support, comfort, or even sympathy. Yo, people die every day, dawg -- whoa! is that an IED by the side of American Interstate? Hang on!

Thanks SP.

I think much the same thing happened to me when Mrs. T's Father passed away 4 years ago. Just before he died, I lost my job in Europe and with it my visa. I was struggling with finding a new job back in the US, finding a home for my family to live, and getting us all relocated there. I was distracted and wasn't nearly as supportive as I could have been.
