Mr. Evilynmo is Leaving

Mr. Evilynmo got an assignment to go to Africa for 6-8 months starting Jan. 12, 2007. To say I am sad is just not enough. I am kinda devastated, I will miss him so much. He is gonna miss Evelyn's first steps, her first words, so many firsts. When he leaves she'll be a baby but when he comes back she'll be a little girl. And me, well I am gonna just cry every day from now until he comes home. It hits me in waves, kinda like a contraction. I am so thankful to have him. I am so scared and sad. He should be safe, it's safer than Iraq, but still, I fear for his saftey and his return to us. If you are the praying kind please pray for his safety while there and his safe return home. Any ideas on how to cope with this are welcome and any and all support is welcome too.
