My husband is going to IRAQ for 15 months Hello, I feel so sad, I never imagined this moment would come,.but it's here:( My husband is preparing to go to Iraq in April:( for 15 months, I dont know how to take it:( I can feel my body going into depression already even though he still has a couple of months here with us. He is the love of my life, we just had our 13 year anniversary, but we've been together for 16 years, High School sweethearts;) :rolleyes: , we met when I was 15 and he was 17:rolleyes: ..............and we married when I was 18, he was 21. We have a 12, 10 and 7 year old, my daughter cries everyday, she is my 10 year old. I know what a deployment feels like, because this is not the first time he's been gone, he has had 2 tours to Korea,. Bosnia and countless field problems which has kept him away from home, but IRAQ is something else........Please keep my family and my husband most of all in your prayers:( :( Thanks, Mickie:( . |
On the same page Hey I'm with you girl...I've been with my bf for three years..we're HS sweethearts too..and plan on getting married. I feel your pain. He joined the Marines and is leaving for boot camp in June..gone for three months..and in 2009 he's eligible to be deployed...sucks....but we have to be strong for them, because they are for us.:p |

I will be strong for him, and never show my fears, but to you my YT friends I show my true feelings:( :( ,..............I can't tell him this:( |
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I know ti is a very difficult time for you. Please give your husband a huge hug for his service to our great nation! |
Mickie, I am so sorry for you. While I am so proud of him and what he does to serve the rest of us, I can't imagine the toll it takes on your family. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I will pray for things to turn so that he does not have to be gone 15 months. But if that is truly his duty, then may he be safe and healthy and the time fly by. |
Mickie ~ you, your hubby and your family will always be in my prayers and thoughts. Please let your husband know how proud and thankful we are of him. Give him a big hug and remember that you need to be strong for all your skin babies. You can come to us here on YT anytime you need us...we will be here for you. :animal-pa |
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. My husband is working in Iraq- has been since May of 2007. It is really hard and very scary. Any time you want to talk, please do not hesitate to e-mail me and the yorkies Brutis:aimeeyork Ms. Fergie:aimeeyork Penny:aimeeyork Georgie:aimeeyork Buji |
Thank You ladies, I've always felt very blessed that my husband has'nt been to Iraq but deep down in my heart I knew it was always a matter of time..........Unfortunatly my family is in Southern California, Oregon, and Idaho:( which makes it a little harder.......I do have 2 good friends here in Texas, that I've known for 10 years. I just pray for my husband will come home safe and well:( . Thank You for all your support.............Mickie:animal-pa |

My Hubby is RAF here in the UK. He came back from 4 months away last april and we spent christmas 2006 apart which was hard on us. I will be keeping you in my thoughts, and if you are having a bad day we will ALL be here for you! DO NOT hesitate to PM me if you are feeling sad. There is a good support network on here. hugs to you and your family in this trying time. |
I wish you and your family all of the luck and safety in the world. If it makes it any easier, a few of my friends are over there, and they told me that they have wireless internet, and were talking to me while in their cots :D. They said, that there is a lot of time and ways for them to keep in touch with their family and freinds. I talk to them both everyday it seems. Except when they are on patrol duty. I know it isn't easy, and being military myself, I see how hard it is for the wifes and children. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. |
I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. We will be here for you when the time comes. Hugs Sheilagh |
I'll be praying for your husband's safety and for you and your children. I can't imagine having the one you love deployed. I can remember during Vietnam having 2 Uncles there at the same time and how worried my Mother and Aunts were all the time. And the celebration when they returned safely. God be with you. |
I am so sorry... I will keep you and your family in my prayers. |
I will keep your family in my prayers. |
My husband will be with yours this spring. They wont tell us if it will be 1 year or 15 months though. I can tell you having done Iraq tours twice before that it is survivable. The bases now have phone service and internet and even some with fast food. If hes on a larger post it wont be total isolation from him. But it does suck. Im with you on the depression already I try not to think about it but Im soooo scared. I wish the war was over. If you ever need anything just drop me a hey, I totally understand. |
Saying prayers for a safe and speedy return |
I can only imagine how scary but you have to know how proud we are to have brave men like your husband stand up for all of us. Will be praying for his safe return. |
Wow I am sooo sorry!:( I will keep him in my prayers |
My son's been working for KBR, in Tikrit, Iraq, since April 2007. He's teaching carpentry to the locals. He worked there (Baghdad and Mosul) for a year (2004). It's very hard, but he always tells me it can be just as dangerous here. His 33rd birthday is on the 17th and it will be the first time in his life that he's more than two hours away from me. Hubby and I are leaving tonight to spend the weekend with his wife and two daughters (about two hours away). Please pass my SINCERE THANKS to your husband. Stay strong. |
I can only imagine how difficult this must be for all of you. Without men like your husband where would our country be? Bless him and all of those who give their lives to their country and to keep us safe. Prayer's coming for him to be safe, do what he has to do and come home to his loving family. Mickey, be strong for him, yourself and your children. Thank him from me for his will to serve and keep us all safe and free. |
Mickie, I can not even begin to understand what you must be going through but as a wife myself of my high school sweetheart it is so great to hear you are both still in love. I will be praying for you and your family. It sounds like you are such a strong and wonderful wife and I am asking GOD to watch over you all. :) Please know we are here to help you through this if you need us....even just to talk or vent. HUGS!! :love-hug3 BTW...I want to tell your husband thank you for all he does for our country and us who have the luxury of living at home. With out him we would not have the freedom we have...THANK YOU!! |
Prayers on the way:hands: I feel so awful for families of deployed soldiers, they are gone for so long:( Thank you to your husband for defending our country:love: |
Mickie - we'll be keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers. I can't imagine how scary this is for everyone involved. There are at least a few YTers who have a loved one deployed right now. I hope you can find some comfort with them and knowing that your YT family is here for you always!! |
I'll be praying for you guys! Hopefully once he gets back you guys can leave Fort Hood. My cousin and her husband were stationed there for 2 1/2 years and were deployed for 12 months two times. I am so sorry to hear that he has to go. I know I live pretty far away but if you need anything just let me know. |
Oh my gosh, reading your post just hit me like a ton of bricks and gave me a shiver. I really don't know HOW military families do this - I mean, 15 mths??!! My heart just goes out to you - I really cannot imagine how this would feel. I don't know how I'd cope being away from my hubby for 15 mths, let alone having him in danger. Lots of hugs. |
Will say a prayer for him to arrive and return to your arms safely. God help us...why can't they stop all this fighting. You think if these politicians had to send their sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers and sisters there this would be going on so long. |
Praying for a safe tour and return. Try to enjoy everyday you have him here. Thank him from all of us for making this sacrifice of being away from his family. |
I am SO SO SORRY! My boyfriend is in the Army national guard and I luckily met him right after he got back from his first deployment to Kuwait. However, I know that another deployment is in our future when he graduates from college. It sucks. I will be praying for him and your family! |
(((Hugs))) Your family will be in my prayers! I nanny for a family who's dad is in the Army. He is now on his 3rd deployment to Iraq for 15 mnths. On his first deployment he left when his daughter (now 5), was only two wks old. The second time his wife was pregnant and had a two yr old and was gone until the baby was almost a year old. Not too long after that, he deployed again and by the time he gets back the oldest will be in Kindergarten. |
