Prompt: Solider verse: First time Henry calls Regina Mama via Skype
She lived for the weekly calls she had with her husband and son back home. When her turn came around to get on the computer to Skype with them, all felt right in her world. No matter what she had experienced during the week on the front, it all disappeared when their smiling faces appeared on her screen.
It also made her sad to see how fast Henry was growing up. She knew she was missing so many milestones and hoped he would understand one day why she did. That he understood she was fighting to make sure he grew up in a safe world. For that, she would have to settle for watching him once a week via a sketchy internet connection.
The call connected and Henry's face filled the screen. He smiled at her and his hazel eyes lit up when he saw her. She watched as he patted the screen as if he could touch her. "Mama," he said, little voice clear.
Her heart stopped and tears filled her eyes at the sound of him saying her name. "Hi, baby," she cooed. "Mama's here."
