Hey {aussie} Well mom and I are doing ok, thanks! and here’s a *smooch* back to you! Glad to hear all is well with you today!

Actually I’m sad, I’ve been looking at tributes to our Aussie soldiers on Youtube, and came across a wonderful video, and the latest comment is from the Mum of the soldier who made the video, informing us that her son took his own life in January

I don’t know if you remember back in 2007 we went through this with Mr Aussiemagpie’s daughter’s soldier hubby also committing suicide, after numerous trips to Iraq and Afghanistan (he was a bomb tech)

The care and help from the Army as he spiralled into depression was woeful to say the least
