Update...

I have found out from one of today's newspapers that there were two soldiers from Rob's unit hurt. One who is a Chief of Police from NH who is critical and flown to Germany and the other from NH who is the same age as my Rob, which was reported to have minor injuries and in a hospital in Baghdad. The paper reported that they were under heavy attack when this all happened.

My prayers are ongoing for these soldiers and their families. I have not heard any more and trying to take that as "no news is good news"(if you can call it that). Over the past few months, reading "between the lines" of what Rob tells me, I know that things have been pretty rough at times, but this is the first of his own unit that has been hurt as far as I know. Up to this point, when he tells me what he can, he usually puts in "nobody in my unit got hurt".

Thank you to Ilona_OH for the phone call last night. It sure helped me to talk to you.
Thank you Laura for the information you posted.
And thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

My family and I prayed for you last night and my childred, after I explained to them your situation, asked me to tell you and your son "Thank you" for fighting for the freedom of the Iraqi people. Our prayers will continue to be with you.

Cindy...

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you last night. I just read and caught up on everything posted from 4 pm yesterday.
My prayers are wth you and Rob, and for the others that were hurt.
If I saw your post when you posted it, I surely would have called you. Sorry you had such a bad night. We all have Gaurdian angels, and thankfully, Rob's was paying attention...let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

I can relate to how she is feeling. My son in law is over there stationed at Camp Anaconda. My poor daughter is a nervous wreck all the time. I worry about her and him most of all. I'm always praying for them and I will pray for yours too.

Re: You are all so wonderful.....

As I sit here reading and re-reading your posts I have tears. I tell you this not to get sympathy, but because you have all responded so nicely. I am so touched by everything I have read. It makes me know that I am not alone through this. I know at times this board can get a little rough, but inside all of us there is a HUGE heart. Thank you for all being there and for your prayers. If i can EVER do the same for ANY of you please let me know....you have my link to my contact info...please use it if you need someone, ANYTIME!

Thanks for the emails and calls also. I just can't thank you ALL enough!

You are a Great Mom Cindy For Raising a Fine Son.

It takes a special Mom to raise a child who is willing to risk their life for their country and others. So My hat is off to you and yours. And I will keep you in my prayers.

God Bless you and your son.
