My husband came home with upsetting news last night. He is at the top of the list for a deployment to Afganistan. I know this is a fact of life as a military life but it still upsets me because the past few years he has been on 4 deployments and lots of mini deployments. We are on shore duty now so usually it is not a worry about deployment. I know a lot of other wives out there are going through the same thing and some have even lost their husbands, so I shouldn't complain.
I just feel sad and I just don't want him to go this time. This shore duty was partially chosen by us, so that he could get to know the kids again. If no one else at his command volunteers for this then he will be selected because he is most junior at the command. We ahven't mentioned anything to the children yet because I don't want to upset them unnessecarily. When and if we know more details then we will have to sit them down. Right now I am just praying someone else wants the extra pay for going over there, enough to volunteer. Selfish of me I know, but it is what it is.
