It is a beautiful saying isn't it? I'm crying now reading it cause I am listening to a beautiful song that posh spice wrote for her baby Brooklyn.....Oh god, too many emotions for me to deal with at the moment!

Yes, he is the Army. He has been called up cause 2 of the guys that were supposed to go have broken their legs in a car crash. He has been before so he is experienced and knows what to expect. Otherwise they would be taking new recruits and that puts everyone at risk cause they aren't really experienced at anything yet....still learning the ropes.
The postitive spin on it is that he will get time off half way through the deployment and will be able to either fly us overseas (somewhere nice, not to Afghanistan....hahahaha) or come home and spend time with us. It's is only 2weeks but I'm not complaining!
Then again it still might fall through, but I have this horrible feeling that he will go.
