I got a letter

Dec 03, 2004 20:15

Perhaps every Friday my fiance will be able to e-mail me from Iraq. The amount of relief that I feel every time I hear from him never ceases to overwhelm not amaze me. Two weeks down, who knows how many more months to go. All day long I am in constant prayer, thinking about him at almost every moment.

Today was an okay day. I forced myself to prepare a good meal because I have not been eating well since he left. Emotionally I am drained and just don't have much of an appetite. During my weigh-in at the doctors yesterday I got slapped in the face with reality. In two weeks I have dropped six pounds and that is not cool or healthy. Lately I don't even drink anything. This is so ridiculous, but at times when I do eat it just comes right back up in a matter of minutes. My nerves are wrecked!

Dear God please watch over all of our soldiers and give us all the strength to stand strong while also encompassing compassion and tolerance for others. These are trying times and I ask only for the strength to give my support always to my soldier.

Tonight may not be as restless as the others since he did write. I just want to hold him in my arms again and feel him embrace and kiss my gently.
