I would not take it well, boxerblues. Not well at all....
We have both been there waiting and wondering. I dont have anyone in Iraq right now, but have one in Afghanistan so at least I can breathe a little bit today, but those poor families, I really cannot imagine what they could be thinking.
As you mentioned, this would be so much different than even the waiting to find out what's gone on after a mortar or rocket attack with casualties. I can't imagine the horror of having a loved one killed in these kinds of circumstances.
MozartLover, Ev is FINE! I will be in prayer for you until you get that precious phone call.
As boxerblues said, we've been there. We're with you!
Please let me know when you find something out. I'll keep checking in here until you're OK.
