Its time... The 8th of this month is when Alec, our son, deploys to Afghanistan... I am having a pretty hard time with this... What I am asking for is that if you are reading this whether you believe in God or not, please pray for his safety.. It seems silly of me to ask this since I do struggle with my faith but I need to do all I can to help him come home and keep myself sane..
I feel very hateful right now..
We have always known this day was coming, but I just got the for sure date today... I just feel like rambling and cant stop crying and my husband is at work, as is my daughter, and I just need to talk it out right now.. Actually, I cant talk about it right now... I just want to vent to myself and try and work this thru in my own head... I cant stop thinking about what if's.. Even when people say he will be ok, they dont know how I think... As his Mom, I cant help but think what if...AND I HATE THAT! I just dont know what I would do or how I could survive if anything happened... He's so young...
FUCK
We had such a nice time while he was on leave... I got to be "mom" again, and he was my 'mommas boy" and i had to cook 3 meals a day, and snacks, and just hang out and watch dumb shows like we used to and talk about old times... I dont know why I feel I need to tell you all of this but alot of you are good friends to me and can make me laugh.. MAKE ME LAUGH DAMMIT!
Thanks for letting me ramble.. I feel a bit better, but im still hateful.. I should go to Walmart and push people down... God that would feel good!!

I'm not very good with comforting words... So
... sorry, the boff just happens. I can't control it.
How long is he going to be away for? Will it be easy to be in contact with him while he's away? | |

I know exactly how you feel. My son joined the day he turned 18 and already went to Iraq and came home. I'm in Texas right now visiting him. Why? Because he re-enlisted and will be deployed again to Afghanistan.
That whole year he was over there my heart was in my throat. I couldn't watch any war movies or look at any pics of soldiers or even news stories about soldiers. So I know the feeling well. But I don't think it will be any easier this time around.
I'm having a good time with him right now even though he's on base (Ft. Hood) every week-day. Just being close to him again is enough. And he has a new little son, Jayden, who I only saw for a week after he was born in April.
So, I am going to enjoy this time I have with both of them while it lasts and I'm also sending good thoughts and positive energy to you and your son. "Let love be your perfect weapon..." ~~Andy Biersack | |

Your son, you and your family are in my prayers.
I pray that he stays safe during his deployment and returns to you whole.
I pray that you have strength during his deployment and find comfort in friends and family.
God Bless you.

It's normal to feel that way sweetie. I have a friend that is deployng to Afghanistan in November and I'm terrfied for him. I'll say a prayer for him while I pray for my friend. | |

Oh Tina.
I can empathize with you as my own son is in the Army. As long as he is in school, they won't deploy him. But I feel in the back of my mind, that the day is coming for him.
I will keep you both in my thoughts. | |
