Someone asked yesterday, would it be worse for you to get a knock saying that your husband was KIA or MIA? I said, KIA.
I told Jason about the conversation that had stemmed from this question, the stories, some with happy endings, but most without. Jason asked why I would rather him be dead, at least MIA he still had a chance to come home...
I thought about that a lot last night, and this morning, while I was B.S.ing my way thru my other blog post today. I just don't think that I could take the not knowing, and having my life stand still. I would be afraid to change anything about my life, if I did he would come home and think that I had forgotten him, I would be afraid to move, to travel, to have fun... and years later I would still be afraid to love. I would wonder where he was, what was being done to him... KIA I would know that he was not in pain, that he wasn't cold or hungry or sick... He reluctantly agree that what I was saying was true and that he wouldn't want me to be unhappy in life... So, I am gonna post the same quote again, but in a whole new light.
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you."

To all the families that are missing a loved one today... your in my thoughts, I am praying that your soldier will come home to you, I am praying that they are somewhere warm and safe today. I couldn't imagine being in your shoes... I pray for peace in your lives... in the life of soldier.
