![]() He’s trying to wrap his brain around the fact that we’re not dead. “Finn doesn’t get to walk back into our lives and suddenly be my dad again.” “He’s the only man I’ve ever known,” he shot back. “It is not,” I argued, getting up and walking over to him. He shoved back from the table, taking his plate to the sink. “Your name isn’t Patrick, and now that we’re back with your dad…it’s just…we chose the name Paxton together. I finally have you back, but it doesn’t feel like I’m the one you want to be with.” I’m not trying to say you shouldn’t be upset over John’s death. But the sad thing was, I wasn’t sure if I was upset over how I handled seeing my husband again or the loss of John, which I still felt deeply. I covered my mouth, biting back the tears building inside. He thought he lost his family, and when his family returned… Upon returning from war, he thought we were all dead. ![]() Sure, I had it rough, but I’d at least had my son and someone to help us through it. I could feel the tension coming off Finn as he stared me down. What did that say about me, about our marriage? I’d only thought about John and the fact that he was gone. But I had done nothing to reassure him or our son that everything would be okay. He thought we were dead, and upon seeing us, he immediately tried to help us. I wanted to argue with him that he was wrong, but he wasn’t. Staring at the ground, I felt horrible for my mistake. “John, we would have been dead without him.” “Do you get that? You’re my son, and he took you!” ![]() He was there for me when Mom and I had no one else.” “I didn’t even know you were missing,” I shouted. “Hey, he took care of us,” Patrick snapped. You have to believe me, my goal was always to get back to you. ![]() “By the time we settled down, the house was gone. “But you didn’t find me,” he said angrily. Finn, trust me, I didn’t want to leave you.” We were running for a long time before we could finally settle down somewhere. In all those years, why didn’t you find me?” And he paid with his life.įinn knelt down in front of me, taking my hands in his. In the end, it was John that saved us, John that risked his life to keep us safe for the past five years. He couldn’t have helped us, no matter how much I wanted to believe he could. My son meant everything to me, and Finn was deployed. It was either life or death, and I chose life. He had every right to be angry, but he had to understand that we didn’t have a choice. Nothing about this situation was fair, but the worst was yet to come. And the closer we got to our destination, the more guilt I felt. He was my comfort and a man I loved deeply. I stared at the ceiling for a long time, missing John’s arms wrapped around me. Pressing my lips to the picture, I tucked it away and slipped into bed. He was dealing with John’s loss well, and bringing up the fact that the only man he remembered was now gone might send him into a tailspin. I didn’t dare bring it out when Patrick was around. Walking over to my bag, I pulled out the photo of Patrick and me with John. Sniffling, I wiped the wetness from my face and sucked back the tears. Kissing him softly on the lips, I remembered his warm hugs, how protected and loved I felt in his arms. We protected each other, and with his dying breath, he continued to protect me. My hands were coated in it, staining me with the guilt of knowing that I let him down. Tears streamed down my face, mingling with his blood. John had been my lifeline for so long, I couldn’t imagine life without him. John “supposedly” dies and now all of a sudden she found her husband and goes to him to protect them because she’s an idiot and needs a man to save her.
