I had intended to end this essay with the above paragraph, but before I printed the page, I received an email from my friend Tammy. She thought I would want to know that an old friend from K.I. Sawyer had stopped by her home, and as they reminisced, she’d found out that Donna’s fifth child was a girl, just as she and Eric had hoped. Donna’s daughter had joined the Guard in Louisiana and was on her way to Iraq. Donna would be a Waiting Mother now.

I have a daughter, too, but she’ll never be sent to Iraq. She’s a teacher and lives just through the woods, walking distance to my house. She has a son named Chess. He’s not old enough to go to war, but someday he will be, and I pray that when he’s grown into his manhood, he’ll fall in love with a wonderful woman who will never become a Waiting Wife.
