Took the wind out of my sails..

So I was super excited Friday and yesterday, between getting all of our rings and booking the venue everything was going really great. 

Then my brother called, he went back to Germany on Friday and when he went to check in yesterday they informed him that deployment orders had dropped while he was gone and he was shipping out in June to go to Afghanistan. Don't get me wrong I knew it was a chance, he is in the military but I am just so shocked and scared and don't know how to handle it quite yet. I know I have awhile to deal with it but still. 

I think that worst part is that I won't be able to physically see him before he goes over there, it will be goodbye through a computer screen which makes it suck just that much more. 

We aren't telling anyone besides immediate family so I have no one to vent to so I turned here because you ladies have been great.

    Oh wow! I"m sure this is very hard for you! I have many close friends who are serving right now, but none of them are deploted so I can't exactly relate. I will say a lot of prayers for him and your family.

    Reb ::hugs:: unfortunately I know that feeling all to well. FI went to Iraq in 2009, my brother went in 2005 & 2007, my good friend who is one of FI's groomsman went in 2006 for 15 months and 2008. If you ever want to talk I'm a pm away.

    I have a few other friends in the military and I have tons respect & thankfulness for our men and women serving our country.

    How sad and scary!  I thank your brother for his service and you and your family for your sacrifice.  This is must be a terribly difficult time for you.
