Of course Walter had to die.  I should have seen it coming more clearly.  I knew the Blythe family would lose someone.  They couldn't get by unscathed.  I would like to slap Irene Howard.  That would make everyone feel better.

I like how  everyone just keeps going everyday.  They don't have a choice about the sun coming up, but they do have a choice on how they will face it.  I'm beginning to think the war will not end!  The United States needs to get into gear and end this thing.  Looking forward to the last chapters.
