"Sharing can be a way of healing. Grief and loss can isolate,
anger even alienate. Shared with others, emotions unite
as we see we aren't alone. We realize others weep with us."
~Susan Wittig Albert

Through our writing, we walk out of the darkness into the light
together, one small step at a time, recording history, educating
America, and we are healing.

A Few More Years

“I am only one, but I am one. I can't do everything, but I can do something. The something I ought to do, I can do. And by the grace of God, I will.” ~Everett Hale


A Few More Years ...

A group of 40-year-old war buddies discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they would meet at the Ocean View Restaurant, because the waitresses all had low-cut blouses, were sexy and voluptuous, and they were also very young.

Ten years later, at 50 years of age, the group of vets once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they would meet at the Ocean View Restaurant, because the food there was excellent and the wine selection was very good, too.

Ten years later, at 60 years of age, the group of vets once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they would meet at the Ocean View Restaurant, because they could eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant had a beautiful view of the ocean through its huge picture windows.

Ten years later, at 70 years of age, the group of veterans once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally, it was agreed upon that they would meet at the Ocean View Restaurant, because the restaurant was wheelchair-accessible, had room for battery-powered scooters at the tables, and they even had an elevator.

Ten years later, at 80 years of age, the group of friends once again discussed where they should meet for dinner. Finally it was agreed upon that they would meet at the Ocean View Restaurant, because they had never been there before ...
