Why does it Hurt?

I survived a year with him being in Korea. I know what I have to do, I know I need to be strong for my boys...I know I need to keep busy - But its not that easy. This time is so much different. I guess not knowing is the worst. I mean you wait for the phone to ring, and I know that he can't always call. I know that he is busy.. I know all of these things. But all I want is for him to be home.

Everyone will tell you not to worry and everything will be fine, well its human nature to worry - everyone does it. It's the fact that another year will go by that he will miss. And it just sucks!

This song sums it all up:

I put away the groceries

And I take my daily bread
I dream of your arms around me

As I tuck the kids in bed

I don't know what you're doin'

And I don't know where you are

But I look up at that great big sky

And I hope you're wishin' on that same bright star

I wonder, I pray

[Chorus:]

And I sleep alone

I cry alone

And it's so hard livin' here on my own

So please, come home soon(Come home soon)

I know that we're together

Even though we're far apart

And I'll wear our lucky penny 'round my neck Pressed to my heart

I wonder, I pray

[Repeat Chorus][Bridge:]

I still imagine your touch

It's beautiful missing something that much

But sometimes love needs a fighting chance

So I'll wait my turn until it's our turn to dance

I wonder, I pray

[Second Chorus:]

I sleep alone

I cry alone

Without you this house is not a home

So please, come home soon

[Third Chorus:]

I walk alone

I try alone

I'll wait for you, don't want to die alone

So please, come home soon

Come home soon

Come home soon
