The Parents of a soldier.
Mrs. Beatles (Daisy) looked out the window, it was time for Wally to come home, but she knew he wouldn't. Wally rarely comes home, unless they make him or he's sick or injured. Even then Daisy has gone to his room to see he has left once more.
Daisy goes back to Joey, it was 5 o clock now, Wally is at his friends again.
At 6:30 Mr. Beatles (Will) comes home, as he walks through the door he sees Daisy, waiting for him, with a sad look on his face. "Daisy? What's wrong?"
Daisy, "It's Wally. It has been two weeks Will and he hasn't even called."
Will rubs' his head nervously,"Well he's a kid Daisy, a lot of kids hang out in tree houses and spends the night with friends."
Daisy, "Will do you remember playing in tree houses and only coming home once a week or even a month."
Will, "No, but I'm sure he is fine. One of his friends would call if something happened."
Daisy, "Like last time, when a piano fell on him and they called to say he was in the hospital."
Will,"Well that's just."
Daisy,"He had three broken bones Will, I don't want that call again. After being gone for over a month I found my, our little boy in a hospital with broken limbs."
Will, "Okay tomorrow is Tuesday we'll pick him up."
Daisy, "An then what, wait til he sneaks out again." She looked down and walked over to the couch and put she hands in to sob.
Will, sits next to her. "We will go find another boarding school tomorrow." He hugged her and then they went to the kitchen to feed Joey and eat dinner.
It's tough being a parent to a soldier.
And not even know it.
