Never Coming Home

I stared down at the letter in disbelief. Did he really want me to marry him? My insides felt like goo and I couldn’t move my arms to write the response. Really, anything I write down can’t express how I’m feeling right now. If he were here I would be able to scream and jump into his arms like I’m supposed to.

So I took out a sheet of paper, planning to write the simple, ‘that answer will need to wait until you come home’, because honestly, I don’t know if I could survive knowing I’m engaged to him even though he isn’t here.

That’s when I heard a knock at the door.

“No! No, no, no, no!” I said out loud. Gerard had been killed. I broke down crying on the ground. He had wanted me to marry him. I’d write yes if I had to, but please God give him back.

“Momma what’s wrong?” Bandit asked me. I looked up at her. I had to be strong for my children.

“Nothing baby, a-are you hungry?” I asked weakly, avoiding at all costs to answer that door. I’d rather not hear the news and be given the god awful dog tag. I didn’t need that. All I really needed right now was Gerard, but he’s gone.

“But Momma someone is at the door. Don’t you gotta go answer it?” She asked me. I shook my head sharply picking her up.

“No baby, I’m scared to,” I told her.

“Don’t be scared momma, I’ll go look if you want me to. Then I’ll tell you who it is!” She exclaimed. Well, maybe this is a good idea. For all I know it could just be the neighbor complaining about something. I don’t really have many friends and the ones I do have don’t really talk to me often. So I agreed as I heard another knock at the door, putting her down.

She ran to the window, then ran back to me screaming.

“MOMMA! MOMMA!” She screamed. Oh no, she recognized the men who told me about Mikey. So it was about Gerard. He was gone.

She started jumping up and down, “MOMMA! DADDY’S HOME!”
