Just a little something I wrote.

I am a Marine Wife.

I prepare for & conquer deployments.

I am Mommy & Daddy to my children most of the time.

I dream of a vacation he can actually go on.

I count down days.

I sleep with my cell phone in my hand, just in case he calls.

I wear his dog tags & wedding ring around my neck as a reminder he is always close.

I cry myself to sleep sometimes.

I put a smile on my face, even though my heart hurts everyday.
