How does everyone do it?

i went to the local coffee shop this morning. don't usually go there for mornings, but have been couped up to many days and needed somebody to talk to. Well the usually gossip going on, then they got on the subject of Hilliary, obama, and mccain. Political views. then they started the war stuff.. I hate it. I know people have the right to their own opinion, but some of it I just don't want to hear. It isn't that I don't know what is happening. I just cant take listening to them talk about the boys being killed and going on about how they need to be brought home. I know they all noticed it was upsetting me and they changed the subject and I know it is unspoken word here too. And I know my son is just now graduating boot camp. I just don't know how I am going to do it if he gets sent somewhere like Iraq or Afganasten . I already just want to cry every time someone mentions the war.
