I never thought that a news story like this ^^ would bother me so much!
I never thought I'd have to care so much what is going on over there!
I never thought there would be a chance that the war and my best friend would ever collide!
Gary left for Afghanistan in July and he will be over there until next April.
I hate the thought of him being so far away!
I hate the thought of him missing out on so much of NJ's little short life.
I hate the feeling of uncertainty that comes with a loved one being such a dangerous area!
Sometimes I forget that there are other men and women over there fighting for our freedom as well. I forget that Gary isn't alone over there! I am constantly having to correct my brain by saying, "think how those other family members feel too." "You're not the only one!" It's definitely a sobering thought to realize that it's not all about my own sadness or feelings! There are men and women who have lost their spouses, children, siblings etc over there, and I'm freaking out about my husband being over there and sitting at a desk!
I know that God is in control, and I know that He has Gary's best interest at heart...but it is still so hard to just give it over to Him!
