My daughter-in-law just called to tell me she's going to Iraq.

[Kimber Scott]

What a call after the news from Fallujah this morning. I'm sick.

1. My heart goes out to you. Just focus in, real tight, and go with

the reality of it. There's nothing you can do but realize that you're not alone. We're all hurting. Mothers hurt the most, I think.

[Kimber Scott]

4. Thank you. My son just got back from Afghanistan

I was finally able to sleep. Now, this. I know we're not alone and she's putting on a brave face. I have to, too.

[wryter2000]

2. Oh, God

I'm so sorry. Here's hoping for the absolute best for her and for you.

[GCP]

3. I'm so sorry

tell her we're all thinking of her and all the troops over there. We'll all be thinking of you, too. :grouphug:

5. I'm so terribly sorry to hear this.

My mothr worried constantly when I was In Saudi Arabia during the 1st Gulf War and I could never relate as I never felt the danger that much.

I think only parents can truly appreciate what you're going through right now. Nevertheless you and your family have my best wishes.

[Kimber Scott]

6. You make a great point.

It's never as scary when you're in it, as it is when you're worrying about it. Thank you for reminding me. My son couldn't understand why I was worried about him in Afghanistan.

I got out of the Army before the Gulf War. One of my best friends went. She had just had a baby and I was hysterical for her. She couldn't understand why I was so worried, either. She was living it, I was worrying about it. I'll try to keep that in mind.

7. Hey! You! The mulleted a*hole with the "Morans" sign!

Here's another woman headed off to fight YOUR f**king war for you!
When's it gonna be YOUR turn, nerfballs?

11. I didn't want to say it like that... I was a soldier, too, and we women

worked hard to pull our own weight, and more. But, I hate Bush and HIS fucking war. Why didn't he go when he was supposed to? Isn't it nice HIS daughters are safe? The goddamned lying, son-of-a-bitching mutha-fucking bastard!

:nuke:

14. I know that and I know it well...no affront intended.

I just like to kick those bastards in their fake chivalry.

[Kimber Scott]

15. No affront taken...

at all.

[Career Prole]

17. I'm glad. And know my prayers are with your family, K.S.!

All of them actually, but to get double-whammied as you have when you also are one of those painfully aware that the whole "war" is just greed gone insane is an especially harsh blow. Hang in there. :pals:

[Kimber Scott]

18. Hanging in. Thank you all so much!

I really appreciate the prayers and well wishes and I know Amber will, too.

[proud patriot]

8. She's in my prayers

:-(

[ronnykmarshall]

9. My prayers are with you, Kimber.

:loveya:

[tandot]

10. Let her know that we all are thinking of her and of all the other

soldiers and families who have to go through this.

I wish you and your family the best.

13. Will be praying for you all. *hugs*

[Sugarbleus]

16. Kimber.....................let me hold your hand in spirit as you go

through this. My daughter was sent to Saudi Arabia in GulfI. I was beside myself with fear. I understand your worry and panic. It is not a good situation over there but we hold on to hope that she will make it.

If I can suggest something: I joined a group of military families, with person's engaged in war; I went each week for support and words from the battle field. It really helped.

I will hold you and your family and DinL close to my heart....

...........:hug:

[Kimber Scott]

19. Thank you all! I'm already feeling better.

I'm calm now. For now...
