The Ultimate Price

Haven't been around much because I'm working on my last class assignments for this session. I think I will get A on Epidemiology and am still working on Cross-Cultural class but it's looking good.

Yesterday I learned on twitter that a Marine wife had lost her husband who was deployed in Afghanistan. This is any Military wife's nightmare and I'm so sorry that she has to go through this. She's only 23 years old and has a baby girl that will never meet her dad in person. Life seems so unfair sometimes. They are in my prayers and I wish life pays her back for taking her soulmate too soon, and for all the memories that will never be. There's a song that I love and always makes me think on my husband and all the things our Armed forces go through every day...including those of us who are left behind. Sometimes I hate the Army for having priority over us, but I'm proud to have married a man that is willing to die for what he believes in. I'm sure A Little Pink In A World Of Camo is proud that her husband dared to live his dream. He dared to live with a purpose. God bless this Hero and his family. We do not die, we just change our address.

~Hand Of Sorrow~

Within Temptation

The child without a name grew up to be the hand

To watch you, to shield you, or kill on demand

The choice he'd made he could not comprehend

His blood a grim secret they had to commend

He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life

He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?

The curse of his powers tormented his life

Obeying the crown was a sinister crime

His soul was tortured by love and by pain

He surely would flee, but the oath made him stay

He's torn between his honor and the true love of his life

He prayed for both but was denied

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have passed, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?

Please forgive me for the sorrow

For leaving you in fear

For the dreams we had to silence

That's all they'll ever be

Still I'll be the hand that serves you

Though you'll not see that it is me

So many dreams were broken and so much was sacrificed

Was it worth the ones we loved and had to leave behind

So many years have past, who are the noble and the wise?

Will all our sins be justified?
