RE: Fear Denial: David's journey out of soldier life
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
When I was a child we lived in the city, (small town) but Daddy had bought some property in the woods, some of it on a small river where we spent a LOT of time in the summers, basically living while camped out on the river banks.
We had electricity and fires, but "the bathroom" (during the day at least) was to just wade out into the river downstream from where the camp was (just enough to be sure no one would be swimming in what we were leaving) and do your business.
Oddly, when I was Six, and daddy had our house built about 1/4 mile up on the hill away from the river, I had to have a night light in my bedroom, Any noise, or shadows I could see made me imagine all sorts of monsters etc...
Later as I grew up, I would actually go out at night and walk the dirt road we lived on, especially if the moon was shining.
It is just a phase.
Soldier or not, he shouldn't have needed anyone to take him out to pee.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. Leave the door open so the lights from inside shine out. It's not like he were going to flood the place... right? ha ha ha
Lol! I couldn't agree more, The light inside is what matters.
It is amazing how you were able to face the night in end. I believe David too will grow up to face darkness and roar at it face.
Thankyou so much for your support and most especially the comment, it has given me another perspective of facing our fears.
Glad I could help, and you weren't offended by my words @queenkong
