3. I can only hope you find the strength within to bear his absence. May your BIL return home safely.

It will be a difficult time for you and a lot of others. Look to friends and family for comfort and strength and value their presence.

and that he will be back home soon.

10. Every best wish

I'm near Ft. Knox, where so many families have people there, or coming or going. Hope there are good family supports where you are.....

Often, the email and other forms of contact from Iraq are amazingly good. Fingers crossed that your family has that.
