Hi my name is Melissa and I got the call about 2 weeks ago that every women hates to get. My hubby is leaving in December for Iraq and will be gone about 2 years. God I love this man. Hes my companion, best friend, soul mate. Theres nothing I wouldnt do for him. Hes away right now training for it and called me tonight and told me hes proud to be fighting for the rights of his family and friends and so that this country will be a better place. I am so proud of my guy.  I have so much stress on me right now that I am moody and very sick. I seem to get worse everytime I stress out. I am trying to be strong for him. Please tell me how to do that? I feel like my heart is being ripped from the inside out. Please pray for us and our 3 kids. Pray for all the troops and keep them safe from harm. God bless everyone who has a loved one away. I dont know what I will do without my sweetheart for 2 years. Seems so unreal to me yet. All I can do is cry and he hates seeing me cry. I started crying on the phone tonight with him and he begged me to stop but only made me cry harder. I hate the thoughts of him leaving and the possibility of him not comeing back to us I need strength and faith. Please pray for us in your next prayers. My husbands name is David. Thank you in advance.
