The Dreaded Day

CJ hasn't been allowed to give out his deployment date until this week. Today is Thursday and he'll be on his way to Afghanistan by 7 tomorrow morning. We don't have an address to send letters, he won't be able to receive packages, and there are no phones where he will be based...needless to say, I'm not liking this at all. He will periodically pass through bases with phones and will get to call home, we just won't know when or how often. He sounded good, just kept reminding me that this deployment is going to be very different that Iraq...in many ways. He told me not to worry, like that will happen, and told me that he loved me many times. I wish I could say that I'm OK, but truthfully I'm not. This is really hard and I wish it weren't so, but at the same time I know that God is in control and He is where my strength comes from. I will post more as I hear, until then please join me in praying for CJ's safe return.
