I talked to the resident licensed counselor here at work. She said it is acute ptsd, and suggested he go ahead and see someone just to kind of "debrief." I talked to my mom and she said they are going to talk about that, but right now she just wants him to be home and enjoy his family. My 17 year old nephew stopped by today to help plan the balloon thingy, and he is now playing golf with my two brothers (and it's a gorgeous day.)
I don't know if he will want to go back to work, at least not to that jobsite (he travels all around for his job, this was in CA.) He may go ahead with his plans to retire, which he had decided to hold off on.
I know he will have a good father's day, but I am sure in the back of his mind will be his buddy, who has 5 grown children. That's so sad, and my heart aches for these people I don't even know.
