One morning, Saturday morning i might add, Mrs. Sandy and her 3 lovely kids were outside enjoying the summer day. The day before Mrs. Sandy had bought her three girls, Sasha, Terra, and Jessy, a blow up pool. These girls are very close in age. All around 7 or so. This family trys to stay in high hope that their father and husband would return soon from the war.
Last fall Mr. Berwick (Sandy Berwick's husband, everybody calls her Mrs. Sandy though) left for Iraq to serve his country. No matter how much pain he brought apon his family they would never show him their misery. Alot was changed around the Berwick house, Mrs. Sandy had to return to her job working at T.G.I. Fridays for the time being. That ment no more after lunch snacks made by mommy, the girls new nanny would greet the girls after school. No matter how hard they tried the just couldn't make it work.
"We wan't daddy home," said the girls on the summer day as their mom got up out of her lawn chair. She had to get to work besides the Nanny was near by to watch the girls as they swam.
"Girls you know your daddy is serving his country, and there is nothing we can do about it exept that we must keep sending daddy cards so he won't get lonely. I know if he could he would be home right now! Love you," and Mrs. Sandy left to work.
Right before closing time a man in uniform walked in looking for the manager. Once he found the manager of T.G.I. Fridays he asked him, "Were may i find Sandy Berwick?" The man told him she was right over there wipping down the tables. The man in unifiorm walked over to her and said, "Mame? I'm General Parker, Mr. Berwick wanted me to give this to you," and with this he left her holding a letter.
She opened it with tears falling from green eyes. From that day on Mrs. Sandy became a single parent but loving her family more and more each day. The Berwicks make it work these days even though they miss their father and husband but as the young Jessy said the day she found out that her father had died, "Even though i will always miss him, i know i'll see my daddy in heaven some day!)
Even though the Barwicks are not real this has been writen for the millions of familys that do have a family member in the army. God Bless America!
