I just can't imagine what this one mother friend of mine is going through right now. One son just got back home less than a month ago from Iraq. Another son is still over there and this week three of his comrades were killed. Her youngest son left today for Basic Training. Can you imagine!
I was an absolute wreck for the entire time Shane was over there. In the beginning I kept thinking my mental health would get better and I would not be consumed with worry about his safety the entire time. It never got better and I worried for 15 months. At times I would wake up in the middle of the night hurting and assuming I was hurting because Shane was getting hurt. Then, I would stay up all night crying for fear of going asleep. Lord only knows what I would dream if I fell asleep.
Well, add two more sons and that is what my friend is going through. I admire her so much. She is much stronger than I am. To deal with the deaths from the same unit her son is in and then to have another son leave today for basic training. God, please bless Melody and keep her mental health strong.

My prayers are with your friend, all us military moms are strong, we just don't realize it until we make it through each deployment--one day at a time.
HUGS,
