His wife just sent me an email with a poem she found that explains her mental state. Voici voilà -
A SOLIDER'S WIFE
I am asked everyday by people who care about me what it is like to be a solider's wife.
There is no easy answer to that question because unless you are one of us you can not fathom what we deal with every second of every day.
Close your eyes and imagine a nightmare so terrifying 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 him
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 husband's voice and you hearing the fear as he tells you he is about to convoy through a war torn country
Imagine waking up everyday knowing that the end is still 12 months away...
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
Imagine having no where to go to find peace and quiet
Imagine praying for nothing more then the safe return of you true love
Imagine not being in control of your own life as your world is suddenly subject to a 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 was once full of laughter and love suddenly darkened by tears and grief
I am a hostage of terrorist activity......
I am captive to fear and loneliness...
I am a victim of war...
I am a solider's wife.......
