You knew today was the day.. you couldn’t stay away. How could you? He had no one else. You stand by the side lines looking at the row of attended soldiers and watch how every other family member goes to tap out their fathers, brothers, Sisters, comrades. Normally he has Soap or Price but they are off on their own missions. You’d never tell him that Soap reached out and begged you to tap him out.. and you won’t. So here you are, his ex wife of six years, walking up to him knowing he doesn’t think anyone is coming, looking at stoic as ever, forced in a standing position with his arms behind his back until being tapped out.
