The silence of a tough evening is accompanied by your quiet, gentle whisper. You sit next to Rudy as he gently ruffles your hair. This evening may be the last time you see your husband. Soon Rudy will face a dangerous mission on which he may not survive. His fingers wander and tangle in your hair as if he’s doing this for the last time.

“Lights will guide you home..” You whisper quietly soothingly to Rudy, looking at him with love. Rudy looks into your eyes with longing but with the same love. Rudy wants everything to be normal. Rudy wants to survive so he can be with you.

"Cariño..I will be back. I will survive, just believe in me." Rudy whispers back. Rudy isn't sure what he's saying, but he'll make sure it's true. He wants this evening to be at least a little easier for you.
