“Journal Entry # 11: My VA therapists always reminded me that the best cure was the human ability to forget. It was the most important capability we possessed, they explained, the mental mechanism that files away painful memories. In the two decades since my injury, I’ve become very good at tucking away the year of blood and gore in Kuwait, the year of multiple surgeries and physical therapy at Bethesda Naval Hospital, and the years of trying to fit my deformed self into a square life of a hus...band, a father, and a breadwinner in a government job that was becoming less meaningful every year. My faith helped me make peace with life. As a Latter-day Saint, I was taught that my mortal existence was temporary. To earn my place in the most exalted Celestial Kingdom, I must serve righteously as a Saint, as a man of the priesthood, and as the head of my growing family. We’ve always participated in all the ward’s activities, and Palmyra has served as a leader in the Relief Society—the LDS women’s organization dedicated to supporting the all-male priesthood through charitable work for needy Mormons and Gentiles.MoreLessRead More Read Less
