My wife asked me to check my email, maybe he had sent a message.
I checked my email to find 4 pictures attached to a message stating he had been attacked, again, only this time he actually was hurt,
"This morning I was attacked and busted up pretty good. I believe my left hand is broken, my head sustained a heavy blow and is severely bruised, I will be flying to Dubai tomorrow morning. My right hand oh but very sore See attached "
All I can do is sigh, there is nothing I can do except pray for his safety. Nothing I say or do will convince him to stop working in war zones. I used to think that this was my fault. He once told me he wanted to work overseas because I served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on the ground during the invasion. He said he was so proud of me he wanted to give back as well. I was there for 6 months. He has been in two different war zones for a total of 6 years now.
Now, I realize that it isn't my fault that he is STILL there, it is the money. If the money were offered to be a project manager somewhere safer and it was comparable to what he was making now, I am 100% positive he would take it immediately.
Well, here are the pictures, and I will try to move on and stay positive. Lord knows I cannot afford to be depressed, I have a Non Profit to start, and still need to maintain good sales numbers at my job in order to pay bills for my family.
Prayers would be wonderful!
