I'm Koz

[kozar]

I just came home, from a six day stay, at a VA hospital.
My eyes are open, I thought I was the victim, I played Yahtzee, phase 10, with vets, who lost legs, arms.
And they will live,
Jeff, Mitch, Ray,
I am ok my camper is moved.

I wish I could house all Vets

But I’m just Koz

We , USA , need to take care of those who fought.

I’m lucky, I’m just Koz

1. Stay strong, Koz. We love you

2. Welcome home Koz

Glad that you are back.

I am so grateful for all the vets that served to keep us safe.

You are loved here at DU!

3. Yeah, koz...

Spent about 40 days in a VA hospital, mobile and not restricted, came away with a deepened appreciation of life and an increased awareness of perspective. Survivors helping survivors.

4. Glad you're back home, Koz.

You have no idea how many people out here care about you. Seriously.

I will never in my life forget the veterans I met during the years my sweet love battled Agent Orange. I’ll never forget the bravery, courage, compassion and determination I witnessed at three different VA hospitals in Vermont and Massachusetts. Young vets helping old vets. Old vets helping young vets. I laughed ‘til I cried and cried ‘til I laughed. Precious memories, all.

Stay as strong as you can, Koz. We have your back.

Here’s a hug…..

6. Thanks DU family

These posts, as the week I spent in the VA hospital, touched a part of me, I haven’t visited in a while, probably because I was too wrapped up in my life, and feeling like a victim.
Your replies and my VA experience, brought back empathy in me.
From LilBit , to the DU family, who helped us, all the way to the VA staff.
Have reminded me, I only have LilBit and you guys, cuz I loved. And I’ve spent the better part of 2 years, being angry at my situations.
It’s time to love again.
