Sorrow from someone too young to understand
I also wanted to add, I was 12 years old when Leroy was taken from us. I'm 43 years old now. But I still feel a great sense of loss. Especially when at such a young age, I didn't fully understand how the world worked. All I can say, is what a waste of a human life. If my memory serves me , he was flying home after two tours and the plane crashed. My family was devastated. We healed but we will never forget. At least I won't.
