Heaven Was Needing a Hero
When I was trying to come up with words for this post I was trapped by so many cliched phrases.. and stumbled on to a roadblock or two. I just could not craft a paragraph that would portray the gravity of what I wanted to say. I didn't want to approach the topic too lightly, or at the same time, too aggressively. After hours of "Type, type, type...backspace, backspace, backspace.." I decided to do some research.
As I read story, after story... I finally realized why my writers block was so astounding. I couldn't come up with words to say, because I simply did not have them.
So, I will say this:
I am a Marine wife, and this project was close to my heart. My husband has been through the battles of war, and made it home to me each and every time. The truth is though, for some women the "What if's?" really do turn into "What now?". This is my tribute to them, all the ones left behind. You'll never really be alone. You are an inspiration to us all.
If these photos touch you in any way please consider donating to the American Widow Project.

I dont have any relatives or close loved ones in the army, but seeing this just brought me to tears. Good photography should always pull on emotions...but this is just beautiful.

This is one of the reasons I love photography ..it's the closest we can come to having tangible memories ♥
My mom was the widow, I was the little girl who was told her daddy went to heaven. Only at the age of 4 I couldn't understand why he wasn't there for my birthday. It's been 60 years and that little girl is still inside me missing her daddy. Thank you for caring and expressing the horrible reality of grief. I hope our soldiers all come home!
