Lost Bracelet

 My Amazing wife gave me a “hold fast” bracelet last year.  I didn’t wear it often, as the reminder on my wrist was just too much to take all day, every day. But as my experience at the VetCenter continued, and my healing took root, I recently found myself wearing it every day. I plan to get it engraved with a reference to the incident. 

Suddenly, like someone far older than I am, I’ve lost it. I can’t find the bracelet. 

It’s now the 4th of July and the fireworks are booming outside. Yet another celebration unseen by Liberty 603. 

Or is it?

They see it. They see it from another perspective, one we - or shall I say, “I” - don’t yet understand. 

Kevin and Chris, we should know each other better for having a connection lasting this long!  

I salute you both, and look forward to hearing your side of the story of that night. 

Someday. On your side of things. 

I know you’re good with that taking longer … 

Thank you. 

Happy 4th of July. 

UPDATE: About a week later I found the bracelet.
