A War Widow's Story

Melissa Storey had long envisioned herself as a stay-at-home mom, but not like this - raising two children by herself. Her husband Clint Joseph Storey, an Army staff sergeant, was killed in Iraq last August. In February, Melissa gave birth to their son C.J. Now every day is a balancing act, resisting anger and self-pity as she misses Clint, making time for silliness with Adela, 4, and C.J., even when laughter doesn't come easily.
