Another of the hard things about being in a war, grandchildren, is that although there are times of quiet when the fighting has stopped, you know you will soon be fighting again. Those quiet times give you the chance to think about what has happened. Some of it you would rather not think about, as you remember the pain and the sorrow. You also have time to worry about what will happen when you go into battle again. . Joseph Bruchac
About This Quote

There is a great deal of pain in war, and it can be hard to think about what you’ve lost when the fighting has stopped. But, when you’re in a war, you have time to think about what happened and what will happen in the future. There aren’t many times when you can sit down and think about your grandchildren and the future.
