Just Terrific ( not really)

Landon just called me. After all these years, its still something that makes me smile.
He had news this time:

He got deployment papers for Afghanistan.

He leaves in less than "2 weeks". Even if he knew exactly when he was leaving or where he was going, he's not allowed to tell me. What a bunch of crap. :(

It's stupid how upset I am about it. Proud, but upset. This is something that I knew was inevitable. I mean, really why should he be any luckier than anyone else. And I've had tons of friends go to Afghanistan or Iraq and come home just fine...but this is so different.

Plus, all I keep thinking about is his job. Photo/video journalist...... it's not like they want scenery shots. AND he was stationed at the training base in Germany. Gah :(

I hope they keep their word and let him come home after 30 days. I'd hate for him to miss Christmas too.

I love you times a million baby brother
