Finding the Fortitude to Endure

"Grieving is a Process" 

Under the heading of "you need not listen to me but if you do, you will thank me", I cannot recommend Dana Canedy's incredibly personal, moving A Journal For Jordan strongly enough.  




First Sergeant Charles Monroe King was killed in action on October 14, 2006 during his fourth tour of duty in Iraq.  He was approximately one month away from the date on which he was scheduled to return home, to his fiance Dana and to their then seven-month-old son, Jordan.  

A Journal For Jordan is a labor of love that Canedy wrote with significant input from King.  Their teamwork will make you smile, make you laugh, make you think, make you angry, and make you cry.  It might at least a time or two break your heart.
