Servant Song

[bearbait-em-14861]

We chose Servant Song for our Sacrament. I practiced on Ward 57 at Walter Reed. I saw men and women who wanted to continue to serve despite catastrophic injuries. After my multitrauma, our lives changed dramatically. I long for the days when I could make my husband a sandwich. After my hair was shaved from my head due to neurosurgery, it has grown well beyond my shoulders—because he prefers it long. I wear dresses and skirts because I want to be quintessentially as feminine as I can in a 5’9” frame and to please the man who has cared for me. Serve the sandwiches while you can, gals. Someday you may not be able to serve. Treasure one another and remember always that courageous suffering begets fierce joy. Peace. Out.
