broken

I have 6 friends who are losing their boyfriends/fiance's/husbands to the war in the next couple of days. They're all shipping to Iraq for a year.
My heart is breaking more and more every day for them. It's been a sad thought for a couple of months now but now that the day is approaching for them to leave.... I can't even explain it. I talk to these girls and all I can do is cry with them and have my heart break for them. They're losing night after night of sleep, not studying because all they can do is cry and the thought of sleep is revolting because they could be spending those hours with him.
It's understandable, because I hate letting go of mine for a week! I don't want to stop hugging him and just want to soak up his scent so that I can remember while he's gone. I've never gone more than a week and 2 days without him and can't stand the thought of 2 weeks. Now try the thought of a year, while he's got bullets flying at his head.
The best I can do is ask each and every one of you reading this to pray for all of them, for a year.
One of them just got engaged, another just got married, another has a 2 month old baby, etc etc.

Thanks, and here's a huge GOD BE WITH YOU to all of them!!!
