i can't believe this. my oldest just called and Josh leaves Saturday. unless, of course, the army changes it's mind and he leaves Friday. i'll drive back up here because he can't go without me being here.

i am so afraid for him and i am afraid for what he might have to do and he is so opposed to hurting other people.

i'm sorry that i have two threads going, but i need support. lots of it. please pray for josh, colleen and stella. xoxo pat

(((hugs)))) yes, of course we'll pray for his safety during his tour of duty. My son has been there and back ... let's just say more than once, ok? My nephew has also been there twice, and returned. Yes, it's a war, and some soldiers give their lives... but most don't and are returned to us safely! Son-In-Law Leaving for Iraq Saturday

Everyone you've mentioned has been added to prayer circles here and in other states. Never underestimate the power of positive thought.

May Josh serve with his conscience and may he return home safely and quickly after his tour of duty.

(((fayerody)))) so sorry all at once.
