Luckily for me, while Butch was in Shelby, I was able to talk to him on the phone nearly everyday. Then, on the 9th of August, they got shipped to Kuwait and are now in Iraq. I've been getting two or three emails a week, if I'm lucky.
About a week ago, I got one from him that said, "We've been getting bombed a lot lately on missions... We're leaving tomorrow for another mission, it should be an interesting night, I hope..."
There is really nothing scarier than getting a message like that and not hearing from him for a week.
I finally got a reply this morning (2am, lol) and a picture! He said the mission went fine, they only got bombed twice, and they found three others. He sent me a wonderful picture of him in uniform. I'll have to post it when I get it resized.
Just a note to remind everyone to cherish your moments with your loved ones. I lost him way too quickly this summer, and now I'm stuck with a random email every now and then. Forgive, forget, and go on, guys. Love while you can and cherish EVERY moment with your spouses, family, kids, parents, friends... everyone. Don't let it slip away!
