Gone to Iraq

Well, Drake and I said good bye to Andrew this afternoon at 2:30, He is on his way to Iraq and will be there until August or maybe even longer :(

I feel terrible for Drake. He knows something is up since I have been crying all day long. I made Andrew leave a few unwashed t-shirts for Drake to be able to cuddle with. But I am certain Drake will not eat much for a few days and will sleep right in front of the door waiting for his daddy.

Keep us in your thoughts....

I'm sorry to hear that... but I understand bith of you, I lived without my dad about 2 years, because he was in Iceland...I'll keep you both in my thoughts... all will be OK;)

Souraya,
you, Andrew and Drake will be in our thoughts, with wishes for a quick and safe return.
Hugs.

All three of you in our prayers . chin up you have Drake to keep you company. Poor Andrew doesn't .

We'll be thinking of the three of you and hoping that the time until August passes quickly.

Oh Souraya....:( How difficult that must have been for you and Drake, saying goodbye:( I'd be crying my eyes out too. I know how much you two will miss him and how worried you will be for his safety. The good thing is, you and Drake have each other there to lean on and love on and talk to:) I'm sure Drake will appreciate having Daddy's shirt to sniff:) I have to admit, there have been times when I've sniffed my husband's shirt too when he's gone and I'm lonely. Any chance he'll be home for leave sometime before August? That would be a something to look forward to. We're here for you Souraya. Please, dry your tears and go give Drakester a big hug and kiss. Thinking of you and I'll be keeping Andrew in my prayers. {{{HUGS}}} Sandra

Oh Wow. How hard that must have been. All three of you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there and be strong. Andrew will be safe and you and Drake will do just fine. You know where you can find some quick company when you need some. We are always here for ya at Pet Talk!

Hugs...Robin

It is very hard, I know. Every person with a loved one in the military lives with the knowledge that their loved ones could be sent to dangerous places at any time. Know that Andrew will be in our prayers, as will you and Drake. That thick fur will absorb lots of tears, it's okay. Big hugs to all three of you!

Souraya, Please know that Andrew, you and Drake are in my prayers for Andrew's safe return. I am so sorry that you two are going to be without Andrew for so long. I know it will even feel longer to you and to Drake. Drake will love having the shirts to sleep on and will have Andrew's smell on them. That will comfort him. You and Drake just do alot of cuddling together and console and comfort each other.

I will be praying for Andrews safe and quick return.

Oh, Souraya, I am sad for all three of you. I hope these months will pass quickly for you. But being in a new home, in a different country is tough, I'm sure. Explore Germany, show us lots of pictures, and know that we are all here for you, any time.

All of you are in our prayers. :)

Love,
Logan

I pray time goes by very fast for you all!

You, Drake and Andrew will be in my prayers!!

*HUGS*

I hope and pray that Andrew comes home sooner than later. Be strong for each other.

Oh Souraya.

I was hoping so much that Andrew wouldn't have to go
there.:( I hope the time passes quickly & he comes back safe
and sound to you & Drake. You all will be in my thoughts and
prayers daily. Hugs to you from me & Smokey.

Good thoughts being sent to all three of you. I'm sorry to hear about Andrew leaving. :( I hope he makes it back quickly and safely.
