Well on Thanksgiving day my husband suprised me by comming home!! He is a soilder in the war in Iraq. We haven't been together in a year. A week into our 3 week honeymoon he says I have to go to Iraq in 5 days. I cried so much when he left. I mean he sent these video diaries and he sent letters. I did the same, but it was like he was on another planet. We got these letters and tapes of recently happened things but it still felt like no matter how many letters or tapes you send, you still feel seperated. Anyway I was so happy to see him it was just a suprise! I cried and I kissed him and it was soo suprising. We went out for a Thanksgiving dinner that night and had a great time. But the dinner didn't even compare to the sex we had later on that night. The next morning I woke up and he left a note that said I love you. I will be back sooner than you think. I put on a robe and I ran outside to kiss him goodbye.

Then on Mon. I get this call on my cell from Iraq. I thought it was from Matt (husband). But it was from his Capitian Leader person from his sector. He said that Matt had encountered a land mine. Also that he was in criticle condition and was unstable. Then he said he has a small percent of living! I froze and then I screamed and then I started to cry. I mean he was here healthy and happy on Thursday. Then the man said I am sorry, but we are doing all we can. Then he hung up. I am so worried right now I don't know what to do! I could lose my husband. I have only been married for a year and for him to die. this can not be happeneing. Advice!!! How can I stop thinking about all this. It is driving me mad. I am allready worrried enough about him being in Iraq in the war. Any ideas on how I can relax?

First of all thank you- we sometimes think of the sacrifices the soldiers make, but rarley what their families go through. All you can do is pray and be honest about how feel. I'm sure his family is just as hurt and worried about him as you are. If you liev close by, go visit them. I will be praying for you and his recovery.

Not to make you upset I have a soilder too but I do believe they are suppose to come to the door and tell you this type of info. Im not sure how i would even think of getting this off my mind. But go home sweetie thats all I can think of tell the Rear D that you will be going home for emotional support. Family is always best to have arround in this type of situation.
Its odd that he was only home for one day and got back to iraq by monday but I will believe your story since well heck its the miltary and almost anything is possible. I wouldn't try and keep your mind off it but think happy thoughts tell yourself that he is a strong man and will make it through plus you can always talk to the chaplin and the rear d thats their job to be supportive plus the FRG (family readiness group) helps out as well Good luck sweetie and GOD BLESS YOU and he will be in my prayers

I am so so sorry for what u are going through - i dont think u can do anything but to get closure for u to stop worrying and thinking about it!
U just need to knw if he is going to be ok right?
I think u need to surround urself with family and friends and use their shoulder to cry on otherwise u will start feeling miserable and start to drive urself crazy thinking about it!
Once u hear back that everything is going to be ok with ur husband then u will feel relieved but untill that happens, u just need people there to help u through this rough time!

I am so sorry. I don't think that you can relax. The best advice I have for you is to stay as busy as possible. It will keep your mind occupied for a bit. I hope everything turns out for the both of you. Do you have family and friends that can help keep you busy? Call on them for help if you do.

In my opinion this story is made up. No one comes back for just one day. Why would you publish this story?
The only reason I can think of is that you are a sick person who wants attention and have other people fel sorry for you.
Are you too lazy to go out and get a life?
