Lisa, Thank you for your concern and for your ear. It is very much appreciated. My daughter and I are miles apart tonight so this is hard. I shouldnt have come online to air my private suffering but I am thankful for the kind and heartful thoughts from all. Now I must go but I want to let you all know it wont be forgotten. Pray for us.

Lynn this is JUST the place to come!:heart:

You have probably seen this, it's been posted online time & time again, but I think it really suits this situation. We are real people out here with real wishes for your son's safe return home.

Friends without Faces

We sit and we type, and we stare at our screens
We all have to wonder, what this possibly means.

With our mouse we roam, through the rooms in a maze
Looking for something or someone, as we sit in a daze.

We chat with each other, we type all our woes
Small groups we do form, and gang up on our foes.

We wait for somebody, to type out our name
We want recognition, but it is always the same.

We give kisses and hugs, and sometimes flirt
In IMs we chat deeply, and reveal why we hurt.

We do form friendships - but - why we don't know
But some of these friendships, will flourish and grow.

Why is it on screen, we can be so bold
Telling our secrets, that have never been told.

Why is it we share, the thoughts in our mind
With those we can't see, as though we were blind.

The answer is simple, it is as clear as a bell.
We all have our problems, and need someone to tell.

We can't tell real people, but tell someone we must
So we turn to the 'puter, and to those we can trust.

Even though it is crazy, the truth still remains
They are Friends Without Faces, and odd little names.

My first post and just need a shoulder. My son is on his third deployment in this senseless war. First 2 times in Iraq. This time in Afghanistan. I recieved news this afternoon that he has been wounded. That is all I know to this point. I am so worried.
