A fellow blogger is a close friend of mine in real life. She is in my office several times a day. We share chocolate together, we laugh, we gossip ... Hell, we started blogging at the same time. We are good friends. She also has a husband who is deployed right now to the war zone. Recently, her husband's unit suffered two combat losses. She is a leader in the organization helping the families cope with the separation and sometimes deaths of their Soldiers, all the while having her own fears that she keeps locked deep inside her. You see, she has to be the one that is strong for the other wives. Her character and strength was sorely tested recently. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I never really understood what private hell my friend must be going through until I read her latest post entitled All gave some, some gave all. Go give her some love ya'll, she could use a little support.

God bless not only our Soldiers but their families too.
