We received bad news yesterday...
One of my husband's good friends that he grew up with died in Iraq yesterday. He was in a bulldozer that fell into the Euphrates River.
I had the opportunity to meet him over the summer. He came and spent a weekend at our house a few weeks before he went over to Iraq. He even helped put up the bulletin board decorations in my classroom.
I didn't know him that well, but it's hit me hard (and even more so for my husband). I keep looking at my boards at work and thinking about him.
This was the second time he went to Iraq. He actually got out of the Marines after finishing his time, and volunteered to go back. I guess it was a part of God's plan, but it still makes it hard to take.
Please keep all of the men and women in Iraq in your thoughts and prayers.
My big sis' husband is over there for the second time, and another good friend is there as well.
