I am asked everyday by people who care about me what it is like to be a Soldiers Wife.?
There is no easy answer to that queation because unless you are one of us you can not fathom what we deal with every Second of every day.
(but here goes)
Close your eyes and imagine a nightmare so terrifing you can not breathe...and you can't WAKE up.
Imagine a world where your Best Friend is in danger... and you can't help them
Imagine being afraid to leave your telephone...because it is your life line to Sanity!
Imagine sitting in a small room watching a computer screen...as you pray today he will be able to come on-line
Imagine turning on a radio,and hearing about bombings and deaths and NOT knowing where your husband is today
Imagine going for days and weeks with no communication as sometimes they just can not get to a telephone
Imagine hearing your husbands voice and hearing the FEAR as he tells you he is about to convoy around a war torn country
Imagine waking up knowing that there is no end in sight...
Imagine a CHristmas morning where your child is concerned,and worried as to whether or not Santa can find Daddy at "WORK"....
Imagine the very best part of yourself is gone and you don't know where it went or if it is coming back...
Imagine waking up in a warm house,and knowing that your soul mate is sleeping in a metal box,or sand...
Imagine no where to go to find peace,and quite....
Imagine prayint for nothing more than the safe return of your True Love...
Imagine not being in control of your own Life as your world is suddenly and completly subject to WAR!!
Imagine not being clear on why we are still in conflict yet knowing you can lose everything at someone elses whim...
Imagine losing your day to day life and the world you once knew....
Imagine a home that once full of laughter and love suddenly darkenedby Tears,and Grief....

I AM A HOSTAGE OF TERRORIST ACTIVITY....
I AM A CAPTIVE TO FEAR AND LONLINESS....
I AM A VICTIM OF WAR....
I AM A SOLDIER'S WIFE!!!!!!
