It begins

We had our pre-deployment brief today. Even though we knew it was coming, it seems to make it more final now. Even though it could have been me, it doesn't make it any easier. Sometimes, I think it's harder, since I really do know what goes on, yet I still can't do anything about it.

I also found out that my friend's husband just deployed for a year. And another friend's husband is going to be deployed soon. Deployments have been going on for some time now, but it's happened with very few people that I knew.

Guess I'm going to find myself on my knees a lot. hmmm, maybe I'd better find a good pillow!
