*sigh* I'm back, and he's gone.

I'm so sorry you have to be so far away from the one you love, especially for so long. It must be so hard. He and all of our men and women in the service will be in my prayers, as well as the families and loved ones of them.

All I can say is I've been there done that and I really do feel for you. It is very, very hard to deal with. When my ex left after Sept 11th, I thought for sure he'd be killed over there in the Middle East. We are not together anymore but we were also supposed to be married. I am just grateful my current bf is not in the military. I don't think I could handle it again I will keep you and Joey in my prayers.

I'm so sorry that you have to suffer through this. If you ever need a shoulder, email me or PM me. No, I don't know or understand what it's like but I'm a good listener.

I can't even comprehend what you are feeling. Sitting here, reading this, has put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I'm just so sorry you both have to deal with this. Its something so foreign to us (our age group). We think things like this wont happen...at least not in our country, not to us.

I know that your letters to Joey will help you both.

You take care and PLEASE use us...we're here and we care. Please...email or PM me. I'm here. OK?
