Coming Home

Jack's POV

3 Weeks left
3 weeks till my ears stop ringing from the sounds of the bombs and guns.
3 weeks till my back stops aching from the weight of the backpacks
3 weeks till  I can sleep again
3 weeks left

2 Weeks left
2 weeks till I see my husband again
2 weeks till I get to see his face in person
2 weeks till I get to wrap my arms around him
2 weeks left

1 Week left
1 week till the generals and sergeants stop screaming
1 week till the gun is no longer in my hands
1 week till I'm no longer crawling on the muddy ground hiding from the enemy
1 week left

24 Hours left
24 hours till I share a bed with my husband
24 hours till I can smell home again
24 hours till my smile comes back
24 hours left

10 Hours left
10 hours till I leave Afghanistan
10 hours till my share of the fighting is done
10 hours till the other men and women in my group are safe
10 hours left

5 Hours left
5 hours till a proper shower
5 hours till a proper meal
5 hours till a safe haven
5 hours left

1 Hour left
1 hour till my dog tags come off
1 hour till my life isn't at risk
1 hour till I step foot back in America
1 hour left

Now
Now the plane has landed
Now I am walking out of the terminal
Now my heart is racing waiting for my bags
Now I see my husband
Now I am running towards my love
Now he is in my arms
Now I feel his tears soak my shirt
Now we are back at the apartment
Now I feel at ease
Now I am home
