How many times when sitting comfortably in our house will ever think of all the soldiers standing out on the borders and safeguarding our country so that we can sit and enjoy life.
I’m writing this after I read a blog about a soldier’s wife . It made me realize what kind of heart must have God gifted her to face the reality that his husband was now a martyr and for the rest of her life she will have to live alone and hold all the responsibilities of a new born who has not seen his father even once.
Tears rolled down my cheeks when I read about her life. Since then I have been constantly thinking about it and now I’m trying to pen down my feelings.
Life for a soldier is never easy and the same holds true for his family. How do they survive each moment with a fear of losing there loved ones is simply beyond my imagination. It get goose flesh when I even imagine it.
Is it that God has given them a different heart made of stone or they learn to be strong? Do they always have a back up plan in their mind to implement if they face any such loss or they simply let the water flow. These kind of questions are constantly flooding my mind since then and have left me restless.
I salute their life and the strength they show or rather gather to cope up with any such loss. A loss which cannot be compensated by anything or anyone. For me the very thought if living life with this constant fear drives me crazy and there are many who are living their life with this fear or have already witnessed it.
Even I love my country a lot but is my love so great that I will be able to send the ‘ Man of my life’ to fight at the border. At when I hear what my heart says I feel guilty…. Guilty about my selfish nature, guilty to be coward who cannot gather the strength to accept the reality, guilty to call myself a weak person who cannot take the family’s responsibilities alone…guilty of so many things.
Today I realized that my safe life is a result of countless sacrifices that are made by the soldiers at the border and back home in their families. My cozy house is built on loads of tears that are shed when a wife loses his husband, parents lose their son , sisters lose their brothers and so on.. I feel so much indebted to them that while writing this I prefer to stand and show the immense respect that overfills my heart at this very moment.

A big salute indeed to all the soldiers in the world, who risks their lives just to assure their countrymen that they will have a safer place to live.
Indeed, I can imagine the anxiety of the family each time they think of their soldier family member, out there in a place where anytime they can be attacked by the rebels or enemies, they are guarding their country for.
The most that we can do for all these soldiers is to include them in our prayers each night that we pray before going to sleep.
And for those families who have lost their soldier husbands, brothers and fathers, let us also pray that they may be consoled and be justly compensated for the lost of the soldier loved ones.
