...and more like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates...
Today really highlights for me the diversity of life. This morning, I attended a breakfast w/family members of fallen soldiers. Right outside the building, the Parade field is impeccably decorated for our Chaplain's retirement ceremony...a ceremony we'll miss b/c we need to attend a Memorial Ceremony for 3 soldiers from Fort Riley who lost their life this month.
An honorable 30+ year career being celebrated.
3 remarkable soldiers being mourned.
Joyous families & sad families, both sharing this very same day...less than 50 yards' distance from one another.
So surreal.
