my daughter tried to tell me happy memorial day .
but in actual fact it wasn't all that happy ...
i thought about soliders who had passed on .
i used to live with a bunch of soliders back in germany , and i know they did at least two tours in iraq .. i hope thier all ok ..
after we got out of the military life .. we lost touch with quite a few of the military familes we once knew , but they will stay forever in our hearts .
the children i will never forget , the military wives and other famiies members too .
we spent 3 years together in a special community , we had some great times together more good then bad .
i guess i can't help it this one is called wheres Daddy
wheres Daddy mommy
why isn't he home
hes far away dear
far away ,keeping us safe
i miss him mommy , when will he be back
a long time .. dont worry .. im here
now . ill tuck you in a night , i'll read your stories
i'll try to everything to make it better for you
i miss him too darling ..
i try to say these things , as the tears roll down my tears
its ok mummy , its ok
she holds me tight
as i try to sleep but i toss and turn all night
thinking hoping , praying hes all right ..
i keep the tv off .. i can't watch the news . ..
it makes it so much worse .
her eyes close as we cuddle together waiting for the sunlight to come ..
another day , upon another day of barely any sleep
my eyes are red from crying , my body exhausted .. but still i must go on ..
on and on without him there
watching and wating for him to come home , somehow the time passes ...
this is based a real conversation my lil girl had with me when she was three , and thoughts and feeling i had that night after she went to bed .
