We were in the backyard goin for
a little walk. when a knock at the
door intrupted our talk. Mrs. Johnson ran to go get it. I stayed thinking that she would be quick. It took her awhile so i walked in the
house & that beautiful women was
down on her knees. sayin god please god please. She was holdin
some dog tags with tears in hre eyes, and i stood there takin it by surprise.
So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq Because some of them never come back. I give em respect that have pride & stand tall. wonderin if theyll evr live at all. Theyve got alot of courage and thats a fact. So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq.
I held Mrs. Johnson in my arms that night. Thinkin how her husband put up a fight. I stayed with Mrs. Johnson for a week or two, knowin that she needed me to get through. I made her dinner and ran her bath, crackin some jokes hopin that she would laugh. She put on a smile and it worked for awhile. Then She looked in my eyes & started to cry and then asked me why.
So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq Because some of them never come back. I give em respect that have pride &
stand tall. wonderin if theyll evr live at all. Theyve got alot of courage and thats a fact. So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq.
I was sittin at home doin some work when the phone rang. i picked it up not knowin anything. They said, Mam im sorry but Mrs. Johnson has died. She has commited suicied. There is a letter for you down here so please come my dear. So i went to her house and pciked up the letter and this is what she wrote. \" Im so glad you were there for me, i just couldnt get over the misaree. i was in so much pain and it wouldnt go away, i had to fight it everyday. Even though you helped me i think this is the way it had to be. Im giving you everything i ever had, you better take it, or i will get mad. I Love you sweetie, & ill see you in heaven someday. Dont be sad ill always be here. i love you my dear. i closed the letter with tears running down my face knowin that she is in a better place. So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq Because some of them never come back. I give em respect that have pride & stand tall. wonderin if theyll evr live at all. Theyve got alot of courage and thats a fact. So heres to all the soldiers who fight in Iraq.
