My best friend of all time left today for Iraq. When he told me I was devastated. I am so scared for him, terrified that he won't come back. Of course my feelings must pale in comparison to his...he is the one actually going over there and putting himself in that situation. My heart fell from my chest down to the pit of my stomach when I heard. Will I ever see him again? Will he be safe? Is he scared? I really hope he isn't scared, but I'm sure he is. I don't want him to be scared. I also don't want him to get hurt. I am so scared for him, I would miss him so much if he were gone. But it's not about me, it's about him. I hope he is ok.
