Finally home

She sat on her porch awaiting for that light of hers. The one that made her smile and had her heart going crazy. He was to come home soon and she would fill his arms perfectly. So perfect because they were meant for one another; but he didn't arrive. Car after car until and a black BMW with darkly tinted windows approached her house. She instantly shot up smiling. It just had to be him, finally home from Iraq. She prepared herself to run up to her husband but then realized it wasn't him. It was two other military personnel. She'd never seen them before but already knew what the were to tell her. Her knees buckled and she began to fall to the floor sobbing but a soldier caught her. She was destroyed, her life was destroyed. Never again would she be the same. "I'm sorry Mrs. Romero, but Angel was killed by an Iranian soldier. We are sorry for your loss". She continued to cry in his arms thinking how she would never be able to tell Angel he was to be a father of a little girl. Unfortunately, she would grow up without knowing her father and the man her mother loved so dearly for all eternity. At least he was finally home where he belonged.
