db texted me this morning, and i have to be honest thats a big reason why I was in such a funk, i had an important meeting yesterday and he SWORE that he would call and he didn't

i was upset, soo in his texts jhe wrote that they shut down all the phones and the computers because a couple of people where he is got hurt, and they didn't want rumors to spread (completely UNDERSTANDABLE)

I guess it kicked me back into reality of where he really is...I thought things were getting better there...i am naieve...but i just thought...im scared now really really scared

I am happy that you finally heard from him. It is easy to forget what they are actually doing over there.:hugs

I know exactly how you feel. It seems like some days it just hits me that the love of my life is in a war zone and that it's so dangerous there. Just try to stay positive. I hope it gets better!:hugehug

:bigsadhug

well im sure he is fine, they all are! Safety comes first and that includes making sure the rumors don't fly around town...thats the last thing any family wants.

Like they say "no news is good news"...i kinda hate that phrase, but am starting to realize its true. He contacted you to let you know he is safe and thinking of you. You're doing great so far...a few breakdowns here and there are normal and expected...we're all doin it.

Try to think about this upcoming weekend and the surprises he has in store for you with this scavenger hunt!!!! You will have so much fun :)

yea it is easy to loose site of what is going on where they are when we are so far removed from it here in the US. I am soooo glad you heard from him and that he is ok.

:yay

so glad he txtd you - you have a great guy who loves you and cares so much, I can't imagine what it's like to hear something like that, I know i'll freak out the first time it happens cause it still hasn't hit me he's going to WAR... ughh!

I hope your day's a lot better today, remember we're all here if you need anything! :hugehug

I've been having a hard time with this lately too, forgetting where he is for brief moments. I keep thinking that lately it has been getting slightly better there as well, but then things like that happen, and it quickly brings me back to realizing what he has to deal with:(

absolutely!! its tough. you can't help your mind from wandering sometimes.

but i have a tendency to over-analyze everything...i'm really learning not to. Otherwise i'd would drive myself absolutely insane!! i'm trying to just focus on happy memories from the past and the ones we will make in the future together!!!

Our men (& women) are smart, safe, confident people who are well trained... we have to remember they are doing everything they can to make it back to our arms safely and soon!!

I'm like that too! Its easy to worry. Thats exactly how i felt last night when i had that convo w/db about the guy with him who was really hurt. It hits you close to home, and you realize really how dangerous it is. BUT at the same time, it just reminds me how important it is that they know we care and are here... life is short for sure. :hugs it'll be ok though, so great he texted you to tell you that so you wouldnt worry that he didnt call!

All you can do for him really is love him and pray for him. Doing those things can do wonders for him. Just stay positive. Things will work out.

yea they call them 'black outs' and they can happen pretty often. major reason why DB got his cell phone, so he can still get in touch w/ me during those times.
