Hitting Home

Quite recently I found out that a good friend of mine had been seriously injured in Iraq. I think we often block out the fact that it could happen to one of us until something like this. He is a good man and I although I am not religious I am as close to praying for his full recovery as a non-religious person can be. I would like to say that I am sending positive thoughts to him but that sounds even worse than praying. I think putting it in my terms I hope I get to go out on the piss with him like I did before.
