Well, this Christmas has been a bad one. It was looking great 3 weeks ago when my wife and I found out she was 6 weeks pregnant. Everything was looking great. She is in the Army and her unit is deploying to Iraq next month, and this unexpected pregnancy was a blessing in disguise.

However, just 3 days ago my wife had a miscarriage. This is perhaps one of the hardest things we both have had to endure during our 5 year marriage. And to top that off, her unit is making her deploy in a few short weeks! WTF! We loose our first baby and the Army deploys her regardless. No greving time, nothing. Im upset by all of these events, but my wife is having a much harder time with it, as is to be expected. Sorry for rambling, but had to vent.

 

Our prayers go out to you and your wife, I hope everything works out for the best.

 

Thanks all for the kind words and prayers.
I hope her chain of command will have a change of heart. I was in for 6 years already, and know the meaning of "needs of the army" so im not thinking very positive of the outcome. All I can do now is hope that at least they give her a few months to greive , so she can at least make the afhganistan deployment in April.
Thanks again for the prayers, they mean alot to us.

Regards,
Mike

 

"A pretty bad christmas",.... that's an understatement. I hope things get better somehow/someway.
