i'm deploying soon...

Jessy thats great news. I know it was heavy on your heart about giving up your kitties. I am so glad you were able to talk about it.
You will still have good days and bad and we are here for both. Take care

That's great news, Jessy, and must ease your mind. Please know that the thoughts and prayers of everybody here go with you as you deploy. Thanks again for your courage, sacrifice and willingness to serve!

well guys, it might not be courage as much as duty that sends me over. I'm even afraid of the dark! But thank you everyone for your kind words! It feels good to be part of this community of kitties.

I'm so glad to hear he is going to keep the kitties. Good luck and God Bless while you're over in Iraq. How long will you be over there? Thank you for protecting and keeping us safe.

Safe journey when you go! have him sign up here and keep us updated - plus we can always talk cats!

my cousin is in the AF and he and his AF buddies all foster each others pets while they are overseas. is there anyway this could be arranged?

I can deffinatley relate to your feelings. My husband is active duty and deployed at the moment. He deployed a few months after we were married. That was a different time from this one though. I can relate to being torn between duty and desire. I dislike deployments very much, but I'm so proud of him. And I know it's my duty to support him and take care of the home front. I'm glad your husband will be keeping the kitties. We adopted ours just before he left this last time and they have deffinatley helped me. And that's helped me support him too. If you ever need to vent and even just ask if your crazy for feeling a certain way or even if you want to pass on the news to TCS that your doing well (if you don't have as much access to the internet, it varies by location is my understanding.) feel free to e-mail me! I know some of the troops over there have more access to e-mail than others but I'm a good listener and I can guarantee I'll totally relate! Just PM me if you want my e-mail address. We'll all be here for you as much as we can or as much as you need us!

Bless you & your family

thank you. Every one here is so fantastic!

Thank you for helping keep this country safe. A time like this could never be easy and words could never be enough, but my thoughts are with you and your husband. Please know that your service to this country is appreciated. Be safe!

I wish this war would be over soon, though. I will be praying for you.
