I'm so numb - Friends husband is seriously injured

CantWait wrote: My friends dh was seriously injured in Afghanistan early this morning. He's lost his left leg up to his knee, and his other leg is broken. He's lucky to be alive

Another Canadian was killed and two other soldiers injured. One of which his father always comes into my work and brings us donuts or other treats and what not, and talks to us for hours at a time. He's so proud of his son, and always has questions for us, and is so interested in what they do there.

This latest bombing has really hit close to home

Freckled Momma replied: OMG ...I'm so sorry Thank God he survived, but all the other losses are devastating....



Many prayers for your friend and all the other's families

luvmykids replied: So sorry to hear this, I can't imagine. And how awful that he's far from home and can't have his loving wife by his side. I so appreciate these courageous people who risk their lives everyday for the rest of us. Prayers to you and them also.

I know that you are worried, about your DH. I pray for his safety and God's protection for all the soldiers defending our country. They are all heros in my heart, and I am so greatful that we have such brave and courageous men and women willing to serve, for our freedom.

I pray for your DH's safe return, and for this young man who is injured.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Marie - I saw that on the news late night...... I'm so sorry to hear. DH got mad at me because he wanted to watch something stupid on Space channel - but I made him leave it on the news until I was satisfied that I didn't hear your hubby's last name in there.

Your friend looked surprisingly calm on tv... it might be a risk she's accepted...but still!!!!!!!!

C&K*s Mommie replied:

Marie, our prayers are with you and your entire family now. As well as those whose families have suffered the loss of a child, and thier chilren have been injured while serving over there. No news is good news, about your husband thank GOD that he is okay.

I know the worried feeling you have, my brother was in Iraq for a year, and just left a few days ago. I worried all the time, especially when I heard about a bombing or something. My prayers are with you and your family!

jacobsmama replied: Marie, What your DH and your best friends DH do are the reason we can type here our opininos on this message board and for that we thank them but the price that they can pay for that is so heart wrenching.. May God bless your family and friends in this hard time..

MommyToAshley replied: I am so sorry, it just breaks my heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to your friend and her husband. I can only imagine how scared you must be. It saddens me to hear these stories but it really does put a light on what a sacrifice you and your family as well as all the other military families are making for our freedom. I wish there was something we could do to pay back our debt. All I know to do is to pray that the death and destruction over there ends soon.

luvmykids replied:
I hope someone can be a pillar for her! I know you're doing everything you can for her, in the midst of your own fears. Still praying for all of you.
