News I dreaded.....

Well ladies I found out yesterday that my son who's in the Marines will be deployed again Jan 2010 and it will be to Afghanistan. They will switch him to what is know as the Americas Battalion and will be the head surgeon At least we know ahead of time the leaving month, that is unless they change it. He just got back in December from his 3rd deployment. He's missed most of seeing his kids grow up. I am so thank for that he will be here to see his only son graduate from high school. He's been in the service for almost 16 years. He said next time when its time to re up his service he will tell them no thanks. Hell have his retirement by then. I knew he would be deploying again and this probably wont be the last time either. This deployment has me scared though. I can never tell him enough how proud I am of him and how he's raised his son and daughter. All I can do is pray.
But I'm glad he told me when it will be. He knows I worry everyday about when he has to go.
Hope you ladies are having a nice day. It's raining here, but I like to hear the rain and all. Weird I am I guess. I just will be glad when I can go out and stop wearing these mask..... Have a nice one...ellie-mite

January 2010 has already come and gone, so you must mean 2011?
