Sad Day for me and my family!

Today, I had to tell my son-n-law good-bye! He is leavingfor Iraq i 2 weeks with the United States Army  He will be gone for a year! My daughter and he are stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia at Fort Story. This is going to be a big test for me and emotional eating. I have decided to keep myself busy with planning and organizing my first OH support group meeting soon! Today, I cried alot, tomorrow I pray even more! Keeping positive is my goal!

I will keep your family in my prayers.. my sister is in the Army.. she's stationed at Ft. Hood in TX..stay busy and try not to watch too much on the news...

As you said, keep yourself busy and mind off food.  My thoughts and prayers are with you, your daughter and especially your son-in-law.  God bless all our men and women in uniform!

Amy Jo - saying good bye is so hard.  Even when I tell David good-bye and it's only for 3 or 4 weeks I'm always sad for the rest of the day before I come back to center.  And that's nothing to sending someone you love dearly off to Iraq for a year.  Know all of you have my thoughts and prayers. 

I know you will pass this test - Just consider it a love offering to Nate.  You'd never in a million years let Nate down.   

I'm excited with you about your upcoming support group.   That is one mighty lucky group to have you as their leader!!!!!

I believe in you

AmyJo.  Im sorry to hear about your news!  I have no advice as I have never had to deal with this situation.  Prayers are being sent your way! 
Hugs.

God bless your son-in-law for his service to our country!!  My step-son was in Iraq for 15 months last year and it was a very stressful time for the whole family.  Praise God he returned safely, but may have to go back.

Above all else, we are extremely proud of him as I know you are of you SIL.  Your family will be in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I would also like to thank your son-n-law for fighting for the freedoms I enjoy everyday.

Amy Jo,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  I want to say thank you to your son-in-law for the wonderful things he's doing for us.  Also you and your daughter for being part of our military family (my husband is retired Air Force).  Keep busy and know you're in our prayers.

You and your Family are in my Prayers.
