We took each other in, the three of us huddling together against the rage & the horror of a world too unreal & damaging to bear alone. Having been discarded like so much rubbish by those whom we believed cherished us as much as we cherished them, we nonetheless learned to trust & love & laugh again, first with each other, later with others. Shiloh, with his beautiful soul, patiently showed us the way. A brief moment in time that has proved as timeless as it is priceless. While our destinies pulled us in different directions, our bond will never be broken. 

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged high

And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

Peace & love, my Brother.

I love all you guys, without expectancy, without exception; specially buddy, who took me in and gave me and my beloved Shiloh shelter and unconditional friendship. I will never forget it in this world or the next, all things being resolved...

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged.
Their feathers are just too bright.
And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up does rejoice.
Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone.
I guess I just miss my friend.

Woonsocket, RI is the location of corporate headquarters for the pharmacy chain CVS. 

It's also a mobbed-up town in a mobbed-up state. 

You connect the dots.
