Just got the call that my brother is being called over to Iraq. Goes in January, won't be back for a year. My mom's upset about it, and I can't blame her.

This is not going to be fun. Not at all.

I feel like some random stalker, but I just wanted to say that I really feel for you and hope your brother stays safe while over there. My brother was fine the first time he went over therem but the second time - and I swear I don't mean to scare you or anything, 'cause there's thousands of troops over there and only a small percentage of them get hurt - he got really hurt when he stepped on a mine, and is currently in the hospital. So.. I just wanted to say that I know how you feel, and yes, it's scary and you can't help but think up the worst scenarios when you stop to actually think about the fact that he's over in a place where anything can happen, but you still gotta keep a smile on your face and stay happy on the phone whenever he calls so that he doesn't have to worry about how his family feels back at home along with stressing over his job there. It's gonna be hard, but I'm positive you and your family will pull through. I'll be praying for your brother's safety.

Doubt you ever see this, but thanks. His deployment has been pushed back a month. We hope it's a growing trend.

And sorry to hear about your brother. That sucks.

thanks for the compliment.
