He always loved the rose garden. (A Drabbel)

   He always loved the rose garden.  I feel so close to him here.
   I hope he is taking care of himself and will soon be home.  His last letter was full of the things he was keeping from me.  I could tell by the tone.  He doesn't want to burden me with the horrible details.
   War is so awful.  It is tearing apart our country and our families.  I pray everyday for it to end and his return.  I don't know what I would do without him.
    Oh, now look how I have crushed the rose, it is his favorite.
