I need him home. This is becoming to unbearable and he's only been gone a few days. I can't stand this. Why do we have to solve things with war? Why does everyone hate everyone else? I don't want political answers, it's all crap to me. I just wish we lived in a world where we could just share what we have and stop being so selfish. I know I'll probably contradict myself a million times but I just want my man home.He wants to be in Iraq because his job isn't done, he wants to serve his country. I guess by being home and waiting, I'm serving too. I'm just hurting inside. I need to cry but I haven't in a while. He won't be able to call me for a while. I hate not being able to hear his voice. He's always so reassuring even though I don't always take his advice. He has nothing but kind words for me. I can't handle this for too much longer... I don't know what else to do.

mind a little advice?
find a way to fill your days. work, school, hobby, friends...something. and pray. know that you have to trust that he is doing what he wants/needs to do. pray for God to keep him safe every time you think of him. Then get up and find "something" to do.
During WWII when most men of our country were overseas fighting the women banded together. Many worked on quilts for the soldier. A big project like that takes a lot of time, and you pray as you go so that prayers are woven into the project. They also would have "bees" where a bunch would get together and work/talk/cry/laugh together. It became a means of support.
What support groups/hobbies do you have?
You are not alone. There are many many families with soldiers overseas right now. Just as the soldiers have "battle buddies" those waiting need pals to wait with together.
It's important to remember, You Are Not Alone.
Hi Stacey,
Welcome to the blogging world of Army families. Mighty Mom suggested we stop by and say "Hi". That a fine looking soldier you have for a boyfriend. I am sure you are very proud of him and I am sure you thank G-d everyday for him. Well, so do about 300 million other people. If it weren't for young men and women like him we wouldn't be living in a free county.
Listen to what Mighty Mom has to say she has some very good ideas. Hold your head up high and remember you have the toughest job in the Army, loving a soldier!
ABNPOPPA,
Proud father of an 82ND AIRBORNE PARATROOPER! ALL THE WAY, SIR!!!
HOOOAH!
Ah, Sweetie, this is a tough thing to be going through at such a young age. Heck, it's a tough thing to go through at ANY age.
I've never had anyone in the military before, though I have friends whose children have been in Iraq. Still, I can't know how you really feel, even reading your oh so eloquent words. I can only say you will get through this one day at a time, maybe just one hour at a time, but that's as far ahead as you need to look right now.
When you get his wish list, maybe you could post it so we could chip in with some stuff, too? If that's not too personal a thing to ask, that is.
And maybe going to church with his family might comfort you a bit. Just a thought.
Hang in there. I know you'll make him proud.
thankyou all for the support, he actually called me last night from a friends phone. They've set up a recreation station so Mike can get on a computer everyday now! I thought I wasn't going to be able to talk to him for a while but I'm so happy I was able to!
