Please say a prayer for my husband

[disneygal2007]

My husband just left tonight for a year tour in Kuwait. Can I ask all of you to say a prayer for him and his platoon most of everyone in the unit that left are very close friends of ours that makes it a little easier to know that they have each others backs. This is a hard night for me. right now he and I would be watching soemthing that we recorded on the DVR and now I am sitting here cell phone in pocket and a computer at my fingers. My family is not whole right now. My poor 8 year old Daniel came home and went straight up stairs got in the bath without being asked and just sat there and stared no bed time story from my dad were his only words. He got out the bath went into my husband's and I room grabbed the shirt my hubby had on today and wore it to bed. The 4 year old Aaron is so confused. My mom called and he told my mom that I'm scared my mommy is sad. I have never let my kids see me cry and really angry until tonight. An I know that freaked them out. I am dreading my real first night alone. We go to bed around ten and watch TV until about 12 and then sleep. Get up at 5 am before the kids wake up and just have coffee together. What to do now. This day went by way to fast and when it came down to it. They only gave us 8 minutes to say good bye to our world. I didn't want to let go I thought if I can just get time to stand still it will be ok I will have him here just one more minute. Then he got on the bus and poof gone. He called tonight when he got on the bus but I missed the call cause the phone were asked to be shut off. I hope it doesn't set the pace for the 12 months. I just got my first call and just to hear his voice has made me feel a little better. When I wake up in the morning I am getting my kids on the bus and then going to the gym coming home and putting my new life together. 364 days to go. Thank you for reading my thoughts. Please hug your spouses and thank god you have someone to drink coffee with.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, your two boys, your husband and the rest of your family.. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must be for all of you. I have friends who have been sent over there or are waiting to be sent over and it is an awful, awful thing to have to go through as a bystander.. My family and I will be praying for you and for the safe return of your husband xx

All my thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you. As many positive thoughts as possible. Maybe you can work with the kids on making something to send your hubby. That might make the time pass just a little bit quicker.

Thanks everyone. I have gotten 2 calls from him today. He is doing great they all are in a good mood. Today was really hard for me I stayed out the house allot did some shopping at walmart a did some on post here treated myself to lunch crab cakes and a yummy salad went to a place he has never wanted to try. You should have seen all the wives who husband's left last week in there with books. A total of 375 men and woman left. I hope tomorrow will be better.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I pray that your husband and his entire unit come home safely.

Is there any way that we could send care packages to your husband and his fellow soldiers? Are you able to disclose their address?

Bless you all! I ached for you and your family as a read your first post.

Hold on tight to Daniel and Aaron!

If you husband has access to a tape recorder and/or video recorder, you could send copies of your son's favorite books and and have your husband read them. Then you and your sons could play the tapes each night at they prepare for bed.




I pray that GOD looks over your husband and his platoon, along with you and your sons each and every day.

I guess you will have to have your morning cup of coffee with us here on the DIS. Just make yourself a nice cup and pull up the computer screen.

We will be here for you!

Please share with your husband that we all thank him and his fellow members of the Armed Forces for the sacrifices they and their families are making to protect the freedom of all of us!
