Pat Fitzsimmons

A difficult email to read - Vietnam still haunts many of us......Randy, may you find true forgiveness for yourself as you do not deserve these haunting thoughts...me and my entire family want you to be happy and enjoy life! Thanks for being so honest and passionate in your note.....please take good care of your self :) E-Mail (Last name omitted) Dear Tim. Several years ago we corresponded via email about Pat’s death and I told you that Pat had flown a mission for me—and that he was killed on this mission. Today I read a posting that you had made on some site that you were the only family member left. I too think of what it would have been like for Pat had he survived. I think of him everyday; I am 61. I can’t get him out of my mind. I still feel so guilty. In early June I attempted suicide, largely because of Vietnam and mainly because of Pat’s death. I frequently wonder what he would have been doing, would he now have grandchildren, would he have been happy. He was on my mind so much today. I hope that you are well and that you still forgive me—I cannot. Randy
