Army families

I have a couple of friends that are going through extremely difficult situations right now. These situations are being compounded by the fact that their husbands are 7000 miles away.

Doing all of the housework/yardwork, managing the finances, being responsible for all the decision making, disciplining the kids, feeling all alone even when you are surrounded by friends and family, feeling sick when you miss a phone call or chance to IM, worrying about their wellbeing, seeing your children long for their daddy, and missing them yourself so much that it's hard to breathe is extremely difficult. But add a crisis to that situation, and it's enough to rattle anyone's foundation.

We are blessed to have each other to talk to, to cry with, and most of all to understand. We have bonded quickly, and will be lifelong friends. We joke that we'll be telling the same old deployment stories to each other when we are 90 years old! We are so proud of our soldiers, our children, and each other. But we need prayers. Please keep my friends in your prayers. Please keep all military families in your prayers.
