5 years ago, I woke up, not knowing it was our final day as a family,

I've learned so much, since that day

If I could press rewind, there's a million things I'd have done differently,

I'd have told you how amazing you are

How much you mean to me

And how ending your life wouldn't end the pain that was overwhelming you

Today, we carry that load

And we will continue to, until our last breaths

So to anyone struggling,

Please stay.

Please fight.

Please give it all you've got.

And if it gets dark,

Reach out.

Feeling pain doesn't mean you're weak

I promise, you aren't the only one.

Fightthewarwithin.org

In loving memory of

Army Ranger Veteran Garrett Briggs

July 31, 1989- January 31, 2018

REMEMBER THE FALLEN

So I know it's not the Hunger Games. But it's also not...not the Hunger Games....?

Anyway let's take a moment of silence to remember those we lost in Round One.

And a special un-congratulations to this week’s BIGGEST LOSER, Corv, who lost pathetically with just 3.4% of the votes. And honestly more than he deserved.

VOTE IN ROUND TWO NOW

Whether we observe the occasion through public ceremony or through private prayer, Memorial Day leaves few hearts unmoved. 🇺🇸

Happy Memorial Day

I know this phrase is quite the bur to many of my friends and family. It shouldn’t even make sense. Happy Memorial Day? Be happy on the day that we’re supposed to remember everyone who will never come home? The day that people are reminded that there is a hole in their family, that one or more are missing, and that there’s a corresponding hole in the ground out there? How on earth is today ‘happy’?

In 1868 today was set aside to decorate the graves of the honored dead to show them remembrance. May 30th was chosen because it was not the date of any particular battle.

So, how is it that today it is the official start of summer? A three-day weekend to barbeque, go camping, and everything else people have waited all winter to do?

Today is a day of remembrance. Now, to some that means a funeral, a wake, a bitter and solemn occasion. To others though, that means a remembrance of life and what the honored dead stood for, protected, and gave their lives for. What better representation of the freedom that some gave their all for, than the start of summer?

While it rankles to those who need to feel the pain of loss to grieve, it does not invalidate their grief that others must celebrate life to process their grief.

“Happy Memorial Day” actually spans this wide disparity in grief. It is both honoring the sacrifice given by enjoying the freedom that loss has bought, and feeling the void of that loss.

We all grieve differently, with no one way better than the other. It is important on days like today to recognize all forms of grief, and allow others to feel loss how they need.

Today is a day of dualities. Regardless of which side you find yourself on, take time to remember the other. Those we remember today gave everything to give a brighter tomorrow for those they left behind. It is okay to enjoy that brighter tomorrow, just as it is okay to feel the depth of the cost. It is also important today to remember that we are not bound to one or the other.

Just as the flag is ordered to half-staff from morning until noon, and then quickly raised to full-staff until evening. We can allow ourselves the full span of grief to honor the fallen.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, I hope everyone remembers our brave warriors who served our country in uniform with honor and valor and who are no longer with us.

Enjoy the long weekend with family & friends. Be safe.

If you’re out don’t drink & drive, and honor the fallen🙏🏻🇺🇸

Damn, Valhalla's so much farther

Than I ever thought it'd be

I'll be missing you forever

I wonder if you're missing me

I pray that all your pain's no more

And that now you somehow see

We'll be dreaming of you

Until our last breath's gone.

REMEMBER THE FALLEN

We lost another eight warriors this week. Time for a moment of silence (or you can imagine a Sarah McLachlan song playing. Choose your own adventure)

This week's BIGGEST LOSER AWARD goes to.....Linus Mosk. You suck, Linus. Horrible work.

VOTE IN THE QUARTERFINALS

“Heroism doesn’t always happen in a burst of glory. Sometimes small triumphs and large hearts change the course of history.”

You don’t have to be a superhero to express your gratitude on Memorial Day. Just remember — If you really want to thank a soldier, be the kind of American worth fighting for. 🇺🇸

The Spartans- Yoga

With all the Spartans augmentations, sitting and waiting for long hours on end, or being in a fast-paced violent battle, they where bound the have aches and pains. It started in training, Kelly got up early per usual, and started stretching in the gym (Déjà let her in). Then one day Sam showed up, he asked if he could join her, and she said yes, showing him some simple stretches and poses to start. Then the rest of the Spartans started showing up, each one being patiently taught the stretches. So every morning, and occasional evenings, you could find Spartans do stretches and yoga. It was often led by Kelly, but Linda would sometimes pick it up when Kelly was gone in a mission. It let their aching muscles relax and provided comfort from the almost constant pain of their augmentations. The day Sam died, Kelly went to the gym, and started her routine. She stayed in the tree pose for almost and hour before realizing the rest of the Spartans had joined her, Linda, Fred, and John by her sides, the the rest of the Spartans scattered about the room. Jorge reached up from the butterfly pose he was in and swiped his downward from his eyes. Spartan “tears”, Kelly reached up and returned the motion. Then, one by one each Spartan returned the gesture. They where remembering Sam, and all the others they lost. They wouldn’t forget him, not any of the others. Their brothers and sisters. Every day they reminded them why they fought, if not for humanity then for their family, broken and cracked in more ways than ones but holding into each other and helping one another heal.
