I will definitely have you and Roger in my prayers and positive thoughts. Going to Iraq is sooo very hard on them. I am so sorry to hear it. I have been pen paling to a dozen men the last two years who have been over their. Some have returned, some gone back and one didn't come home again. It will be a tough year and I know you will get plenty of support from your family and friends. You will have to be very strong because he needs a lot of positive energy comnig from you during that time.

Big hugs to you,

I know how you feel. I was married to a military man too. It was so hard to do that typical "hurry up and wait" thing they do. And then the changing of plans all the time. But there's nothing you can do but support your husband and know that he loves you and wishes with all his heart he could be with you instead. He's doing a good thing though. We need all the strong men and women over there that we can have. We have to replace those who have returned home and those who have unfortunately not made it. And I know you're proud of him for doing his duty and being brave. Just keep the supportive letters coming and lots of pics of you and your beautiful dd. He will enjoy that. Enjoy the time he's home and make the most of that time together.

I'll pray for you and your family!
