[USMARINEWIFE]

I just want to let you know, Carters mom, that your son is in my prayers. I know it must be very hard for you. My mom has been in your position, since my brother is active Navy and has been deployed 3 times. But he loves what he does, and he loves this country! Be strong. Just please remember that everyone is praying for him, and all of the other soldiers over there right now.

My husband is not overseas right now. He has not yet had to be deployed, but it is very likely that he will eventually have to go. It will be super hard for me, I know this already. But I know that I WILL make it through it, because him and I already have made it through a lot of hard times. Times like this only make us stronger. I know that is a fact!

Rene, the thing you posted about military wives.. I really liked that. And I can relate to so many of those statements. I will be 20 this year, and I am amazed when I step back and look at all of the stuff that I've dealt with since I have been with my husband. He's been in the Marines for only 2 years, and I have already learned SO MUCH! But I am so proud of him and I, for all that we've made it through!

All of you that have family deployed right now, they will be in my thoughts and prayers! I pray every night for all of the soldiers overseas, and their families. Not only are our soldiers brave for what they do, but so our their families and spouses for staying SO strong while they are gone! My heart sincerely goes out to every single one of them!
