I am not 18, I am not a girlfriend or wife, I am a grieving mother. I didn't lose my son in Iraq, 2 months before he was to go he was killed while running errands off post by a young boy who said he didn't see him crossing the road. The pain is just as terrible though. All his/our dreams for him, gone in an instant. When I heard this song I couldn't hold back the tears. This is exactly what I tell myself at those times when I miss my son so badly I can hardly breathe. "It's just a dream". Beautiful Carrie, thank you for the lovely tribute to our soldiers.
