The majority of the people here are pretty upset about be called to deploy, with that said everyone is making the best lemonade they can. There wasn't a single person here that was prepared for this to happen to them, some guys had just started a new job, recently married or just bought a house. It can be easy to throw yourself a pity party, and make no bones about it I have thrown myself a party. However, you can quickly be humbled by another persons story. Last night I found myself listening to a soldier tell me how he had a 4 year old, 2 year old and that his wife was due with twins any day now and how stressed he was to not be able to provide support to his wife. Today he had the unfortunate news that his wife went into labor and they had lost one of the twins. I am blessed to have an extremely happy and healthy son and could not even come close to understanding what he is going through. Some good news is that that didn't pass him through in processing and are allowing him to go home shortly. I am not even sure of his name, but either way if you could keep his family in your prayers tonight that would be good.

Hi Jon without an H! That would be so tough to be in his situation. I mean he could not even be there with his wife to grieve their loss together.
Anyways, I miss emailing you sillyness throughout the day. I am praying for you and just hope that you are able to learn so much more about our Father during this time.
