Quicksand

I thought I was prepared for all the 'what if's'.

I was prepared for the long deployments. I was prepared for the risks that come with being a military wife. But what I never considered was that he would bring the war home with him. I never thought he would take his own life.

For two years, I've woken every morning with a shattered heart. Two soul crushing years of sitting in this house alone, missing him. Until I wrote it all down, put my finger on the button, and clicked.

One single email.

One small confession.

And everything changed.
