Did you ever wonder, what the life of a military wife was like? As the war rages on, so many husbands being sent home in body boxes. So many still fighting for their lives ... their country ... and their family.
Husbands returning home with limbs missing, minds and body no longer the same. The war rages on and they are all alone, missing their families. They live their lives in a living hell.
But what about the wives and children left behind? They also go through their living hell. Everyday wondering if your husband, and father of your children is dead or alive. Is he lying in a pool of blood, in the battle field? Or is he a prisoner of war, being tortured alive? Yes, life still has to go on here at home ... Our children to raise and tend to. Their little hearts breaking at night, asking when daddy will be home? A question you can not answer ... because you don't know when or if daddy will be home
Bills to pay when money is so short, house and yards to tend to, doctors to see and errands to run, choices to be made alone. All these things we take for granted when our husbands are home. Broken appliances ... and leaking roof, who will be here to help us? No one ... we are the wives of military men.
No family or friends around, because you are so far from home. Everything that has to be done, you have to do alone. Alone is the way of life, we all grow to understand. A military wife ... grows as strong as her man. You're mom and dad all wrapped in one, Your days no longer seem to have pleasure or any fun.
Then the many nights you lay in bed alone, nights filled with lonliness and pain. You ask yourself time and time, will I ever feel my husband arms wrapped around me again? You cry in the night's shadows, mind all in a haze. Will we alone have our children to raise? Then you drift off to sleep, where nightmares fill your life. This truly is the life of a military wife.
Then the morning does appear, not much sleep have we had. Just to start another day, you know will be lonely and sad. The days and the nights all roll into one, will this hell ever end? Will our family ever be together again? Before he left there was one.
So as the war rages on ... we fight for our life here at home. Waiting anxiously for our soldier to come home.
