Well it's December now, and Christmas is fast approaching. I would be happier about that, except that this year Christmas marks the last time I will see my brother for the coming year... I dare not suggest the worst case scenario.
See, he joined the navy a while back, and they're sending him to Afghanistan for a year. He gets about a week and a half off to come visit first, so he should be around in about a week to a week and a half. After that though, they're shipping him out.
It'll be great to see him again, but ... at the same time I can't help but feel this heavy cloud over the whole thing. Honestly, I feel like crying. I'm so worried about him going over there. And the closer the date gets, the more I freak out about it. I guess that's normal though.
All I want for Christmas, and for the coming year of 2010, is for my brother to come home safe again for 2011.
