Brian, my son, took this photo of an Army nurse caring for an Afghan child who suffered from several shrapnel wounds. They are in the "waiting room" of the radiology section of the hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan. This was during my son's first 90 day deployment. He is now serving in Mosul, Iraq. Notice the waiting room furniture.

There's a story behind this shot. Even looking at it now the emotions come back quite strongly. A mix of compassion, regret, pride and a hint of frustration. We'd set ourselves the ambitious goal of the Allalin Horn during our Saas Fee holiday. At 4027 m it's a significant peak - 4000ers are never to be trifled with and it's a border that Sharon and I hadn't passed since BC (before children). On the other hand, the Allalin is arguably the easiest 4000er in the alps. You climb up from the Mittel Allalin cable car station at 3500 m, follow the trail round the corner and slip up the back.
We'd spent all the previous week preparing for this one trip, taking the kids up high, around the 3000 m line both to acclimatise (allow the body to produce sufficient new red blood cells to transport the scarce oxygen) and to get the kids used to the feeling of having to struggle a little for breath.
On the Monday morning the conditions were perfect for an ascent. Not a cloud anywhere, nice crisp going underfoot. Getting off at the top cable car station we kitted up with ropes, harnesses, crampons and ice axes (the kids have their own kit too) we set off. For the first hour or so we made a good pace, even drawing closer to the large group in front of us. The route then gets a bit steeper around a couple of crevasses and we had to slow right down.
Rhiannon was clearly not happy at this point and she wanted us to slow down. The difficult thing with an (almost) 8-year old is determining exactly what the problem is - they often don't have either the experience or vocabulary to express what they're upset about. We gently coaxed her into continuing on to the col, where we promised a long break and a review of the situation.
We got to the col and were rewarded with a fantastic view of Zermatt and the Matterhorn. The summit cross of the Allalin seemed almost within touching distance above us, though there were still a good 200 m to go - probably a 45 min climb if we took it slowly. But not that day. Rhiannon was sobbing intermittently by this point and complaining of being tired and was unwilling to continue. Joshua and Sharon were all for carrying on for the summit, but in this terrain it's all or none. The rope isn't an optional extra, it's an essential piece of safety equipment. No gentle encouragement was going to change her mind and so with a reluctant glance over our shoulders at the peak we turned round and headed back to the cable car. At least three of us left the col with a silent 'until next time' in our hearts.
Apart from having climbed to a altitude higher than anything in Germany and Austria, the kids had proved themselves again as able high-alpinists, coping well with the terrain and equipment. The altitude issue could be trained. Maybe next year, or the year after... Sharon and I shared mixed feelings. On the one hand we were so close and then had to turn back. On the other hand, we both left emboldened by the feeling that we could have, given a chance. That we still have it in us.

" It's possible to have both justice and compassion."
In this picture of two people shaking hands it shows justice. This shows justice by showing two enemies coming into a respectful agreement.
This relates in "To Kill A Mocking Bird" from the scene in the court when Tom is moved to a different prison. Atticus convinced the judge to move above the law to keep Tom safe.
