Incredibly moving story. My heart goes out for you and gives me a better sense of appreciation and perspective for my own privilege knowing what you had to struggle through. Any small bumps in my childhood are dwarfed by the things you experienced. I admire your collection that much more knowing you've risen above your hardships.
Thanks for having the courage to share something like that. Thanks also for your service to our country.

Happy Halloween!
31 Games that make me think of Halloween. I did a write up, one for each day of October and a quick video that shows all of them.

Re: New Post 10-31-14 Games That Make You Think of Halloween
I actually picked up Garfield's Nightmare because of your blog.
A lot of your choices were ones that I chose for my own Halloween themed month. I just finished Nightmare Before Christmas this past week, which I really enjoyed.
A game I usually like to bring out is "Typing of the Dead", which I find hilarious. It's also great for Halloween parties because anyone can understand and enjoy the game. The concept is just silly and fun and has become a staple in my Halloween rotation every year.
