Thank you, I will. I just talked to him and he says nothing has been said officially, but he knows that there's a very strong possibility.

And I've known it and I've been preparing myself for another deployment. But the first one was bad enough, and seeing the word of an upcoming deployment in print just made me feel like I got hit in the gut. The first time, he was almost killed more than once. I'm very proud of my husband, but I'm also terrified of being a young widow. And now I'm in medical school so life is high-stress even without him being deployed. Keeping my mind on my studies would be near impossible.

Sorry, I'm freaking out. I was already freaking out about an upcoming exam for which I am completely unprepared, and this was a bad time to see this article.

Having spent 20 years in the Army, I knew exactly what you were saying tonight. That is why I will be crying for, but proud of, the people in the 82nd Airborne.

Sometimes, as a wife, you have the most difficult job on Earth. You must do so many things, it is impossible for me to list them all.

Just remember, you always have friends around you. All you ever need to do, is simply ask.

Asking, is the most difficult thing that you can do....

Sorry about that. I do know how trying these deployments can be. It's tough on the wives. And this is why I don't like these darn newspapers printing these articles so far in advance. I think the husband should be able to tell the spouse first.
