Heartbreak Warfare

Briggs,

Remember when we parted ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too.

I thought they'd be enough-my husband and my son. That I'd get home and everything would go back to the way it was . . .

Before the war.
Before the ambush.
Before you.

But, no matter how hard I try, I can't erase the trauma we shared. I can't seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours.

The truth is I'm lost without you.

I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I'd face at home.
I know it's selfish of me to ask, but, please, I have to see you one last time. . .

All my love,
Scottie
