Countdown to Life Sucking

Two more weeks until my husband goes to Iraq. Last night I had to fill out a form listing funeral preferences. How brutal is that?

I don't know what I'd do if my husband (let's pretend I'm married for a second) were sent off for a year. Must be very tough on both of you. Best wishes.
