My turn to ask for prayer & PT

Oh honey big hugs!! I am thinking about you, you are amazing and I know that you can get through this but I can only begin to imagine how you must be feeling right now. Just know that there are tons of people who care about you and you won't have to do this alone.
 
Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way, Laura. I can't even imagine what that has to be like. We're here to help you through this and we'll all be praying for your hubby too!!
 
Will keep you, your husband and your girls in my thoughts and prayers....I can't imagine how you all must be feeling right now....

Big HUGS,
Sheila
 
Oh I'm sorry you are having to deal with this Laura. I will keep you all especially Jamie in my thoughts and prayers!
 
I'm sorry you have to go throuh this Laura. Just remember you are not alone and we will be here for you if you need us. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts.
 
Well, I know exactly what you're feeling. And first of all don't feel bad about any feelings you're having. For DH's first deployment to Afghanistan, my biggest feeling was anger...just anger about all of it...why did HE have to go, why did I have to take care of our then newborn son alone for over a year, why, why, why and I was SO angry about it. It's hard, no lies about it, but you'll be okay and there are so many people out there going through the same things so be sure and reach out to them for support. You can pm me any time you want to whine or gripe b/c I know exactly how it feels and I've been through pretty much every emotion regarding deployment you can imagine.

I see he's going to be in MS for his pre-mob...Is it Camp Shelby? I live in MS and DH mobilized from there for his Afghan tour.

Hang in there and super big hugs!
 
Yep, Camp Shelby Nikki. Because Shelby is a training base, we still can't guess who he's tasking to. He's talking about us coming to see him there if it's allowed, so maybe we can meet. I guess there's a silver lining right? lol Kind of ironic... your hubby is deployed to where we're from (Seattle) and my husband is off to where you are. lol

Thank you all so much for your support. I means more than I can express!
 
Big hugs Laura!! I hope you get some of the answers you need soon, and I'll keep your family in my prayers.
 
{{Laura}} We're here if you want to vent, talk, or ask questions...I'm sure there are other ladies who have gone through it that might be able to give you answers...I haven't personally but my sister has...if I can ever ask her something that might help...please let me know.

Oh DH is in Washington DC not state. I always forget to put the DC on the end when I say where he is lol..

We were just talking about Shelby last night b/c he's hoping they get to demob from there this time. They're scheduled to demob from Texas but I'm praying it'll be Shelby so that we can see him sooner. My sister lives in Hattiesburg which is where Shelby is located. I've been there lots and lots... DH used to work out of there when we were first dating. Anyway, I'm rambling..hang in there!
 
I can't even begin to know how you feel...I hope and pray for a speeding and safe return and you and your family can stay strong. (((Hugs)))
 
My heart goes out to you Laura. My prayers are with you to be strong, and with him to stay safe.

I absolutely have so much respect for all of our armed forces, for what they do for us. Tell that man thank you from my family and wish him our best.
 
Hugs Laura!!!! Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. :) Tell your DH thank you so much for what he does for our Country!!!!
 
Lots of {{hugs}} Laura, I can't imagine how you are feeling right now but I will definitely keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!
 
So sorry you have to go through this Laura. You all are definitely in my thoughts and prayers!
 
Wow, Laura! I can't even imagine how scary this all is. And the worst is that there is so much unknown. I pray that you get answers soon. And remember: you are strong. Stronger that you think. And you can do this. We're all here for you...
 
I am thinking you you, Laura. My hat goes off to you, and all the military families! I can't even imagine going through that. (((hugs)))
 
Huge huge hugs, Laura!!!! Since he's going to be gone that long, do you have to stay in Germany? Can you come home for the 16 months and then go back??
 
Thank you SO much you guys! I feel so fortunate to have this network of supportive, caring people to turn to. Ya'll make me want to cry!

We thought of this, but I honestly feel that it would be worse for the girls to uproot them. We would be with family/friends, but they'd have to start a new school (of which I don't thing would be as good as the DoDDS schools we have here) and get to know people all over again. Plus, if (and that's IF) the Army would pay for us to move home, we would have to stay there until DH's next duty station assignment which isn't until April 2011. That would mean he'd be here for 10 or so months after he got back from "down range" and we'd be stuck in the States without him. Vicious, crazy cycle. lol We'll probably try to spend most of the summer with my family though! :thumbup:
 
Oh sweetie! I cannot even begin to imagine how you must feel! (((((HUGS))))) I am so thankful for our military & military spouses! I don't see how y'all deal with it all! I will definitely be praying for y'all!!!
 
Oh hugs Laura! I am going through pretty much the same thing right now. My DH just left yesterday for what basically starts him being gone for the next year and a half, possibly longer. He doing three weeks of training right now, then he'll be home for February. March through May they're sending him to a class and he'll literally return for a few days, maybe a week if we're lucky before he deploys for a year to Afghanistan. It's rough, he wasn't even back from Iraq at this point last year. :(

All I can tell you is that you CAN do this. At least that's what I try to keep telling myself when faced with the prospect of spending the entire year alone. :blink: It won't always be easy and there are definitely days of frustration and anger and tears. Just know that there are others going through this too and if you ever need to just vent or whatever, we are here for you. :)
