My heart stopped

I was IM ing with Tim in Iraq and he says "I just heard gunfire". Now he is on base in his tent so it is supposed to be pretty safe. So I say "thats not good" I mean there shouldn't be gunfire in the "safe" area right. He says "not at all" then he is offline suddenly. My heart stopped!! I'm thinking holy shit something bad is going down right now. So I spend the next two hours trying not to freak out. Until I finally get a message on my cell that the internet went down for a little while. Thank God! So I get back on line and find out the gun fire wasn't even close to him and I'm worrying my ass off for nothing! Sometimes I think I would really rather not know some things, like when he hears far off gunfire or maybe he could be a little more specific, so as not to give me a heart attack or a panic attack. I guess this is just the stressful shit that goes with this life.
