Life in the households during World War II was miserable. Families didn't know whether their husbands or fathers would ever come back home. In this household, we have a mother and son waiting for their husband/father to come home. It is midnight when the child begins yelling:
Timothy: MOM!!!
Mom: Yes timothy, whats wrong? (out of breath)
Timothy: I had a nightmare that dad was never coming back. That he was all broken up into pieces and will never see my face again! (crying)
Timothy and his mom start hugging and cried together.
Mom: Oh sweetie, let out the pain. Don't worry we'll see him one day even if it takes our whole lifetime.
Timothy: What pain? I am just scared that might happen but it was just a dream. Dad told me he's coming back soon. He promised. And we are going to see him, right? Right? (desperate)
Mom: Im sorry, that wasn't a dream son.
A day in the life of an average war stricken family.

This is so sad yet true. This is my favorite post because it shows the pain and grief that families with family members out at war go through during times of war.I wish I could just hug that little boy right now :(
This is a really good script.
Usually, people forget about the pain and misery families have to go through when someone is at war. :-(
