I am an army wife. I pack, move, and follow my soldier everywhere he is needed. Wherever he is stationed, I am there to stay. Nothing will tear us apart. Until that one night; that one cold, dark night. He told me I needed to go away for a little while, their battle was getting more intense and he didn't want me anywhere near it. I didn't care; I needed to be with him. But he wouldn't let me. I knew in order for this to work I had to trust him. Even if I ended up back in our very first house deep in the cold, snowy depths of the forest. I loved it there, our old cottage in the woods, filled with beautiful memories. But I hated it there as well. His decision to be a soldier was made there in that house, under the covers in our own bed, right before I was about to inform him of my plans to have a baby. Our whole lives changed after that moment, and honestly, I didn't want to go back. I didn't want to relive it all without him.
