As the wife who was once "left behind" during a deployment, I appreciate the sketch very much.

It is beautifully done. I love the arch of her back as she adjusts to handle the weight of both the child and her heavy heart.

Thanks everyone.

Kelly, I was "left behind" in 2003. War is not the answer. It only causes pain for so many. There has got to be a better way.
