My Thursday, my Thursday cat loved to be in the garage, in my former home, the garage, was more of a home office with a television, it had vinyl flooring, built-in cabinets and counter, a built-in closet, built-in storage for tools, shelving, it was more of an office than a garage because no cars were parked in there, there was a wall in front of the garage door, and Thursday loved it there.  Thursday loved the welcome mat I have in my garage, he used to roll around and around, scratching and brushing his fur on the welcome mat.  He used to sleep there, he used to ask me to keep the door open from the garage to the house, so he could be in the garage and sleep there.  It was also a place where he could find his friends, the tree frogs.

It should have been a warning sign.  It should have been a really big warning sign in 2014 when I started giving away every possession I had.  My hope chest, I gave away, my hope chest that I had since I was a child, I gave away along with numerous furniture including my headboard, articles of clothing, I gave away nearly all of my clothes and I did not have much clothing to begin with since changing in size.  Numerous beauty products, I left clothing in hotel rooms when I drove to the West coast, I threw away jackets and other clothing along the way – IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BIG WARNING TO EVERYONE INVOLVED SOMETHING WAS VERY SERIOUSLY WRONG – and no one listened.

There are a lot of reasons why a vet after having served military service does things that perhaps he might not have done before he served his country.  This man who was a lookout for some of the murders, from the movie The Lovely Bones, looks to me as though he served in the seventies.  Veteran’s health care – hopefully – has changed since then.  He would have been upset that he was not seen or recognized and that has nothing to do with praise or recognition, awards or honors, it has to do with going to services, such as, veteran’s medical facilities and not being treated as a human being, an individual, or a person.

This man looks depressed, probably chronically depressed, and mentally unstable, not that he was unable to care for himself, get to appointments on time and so forth, mentally unstable.  He would have been able to hide himself enough to be able to feel he had fooled the veteran’s health services.  He wanted them to find him.  Like a criminal will always leave a tell or a clue because they want to be found and caught, he would have said things and done things as a way of asking people for – help.  Let that be a lesson for everyone.

Sometimes that is a way of asking for help.  Sometimes it is not always appropriate to do for others, they must do for themselves, but sometimes, decent, honest people, such as a man who has served his country have no other way of asking for help.  He needed counseling, he needed to be ordered as a part of his health-check to a group-session of other vets who have served.  He needed to see it in other people, as they talked, he needed to see himself in other people.
