So basically, tonight was the night my older brother told me that he might be deployed, he said that he wouldn't be over seas until June but that he would be in california for a month before he goes over. He hasn't had a definate answer or orders yet, but i'm still scared. he is my only brother and this is his first (maybe) deployment,
i know that a lot of you have gone through your siblings first and second and maybe even third deployments, so i was wondering how you get through it? My brother and I are very close and we have never faught because we are 8 yrs. apart. We don't have any other siblings so losing him would be one of the worst things of my life, I don't know what I would do. I was wondering if any of you could help me handle this?

My brother is over in Iraq right now. He's my younger brother, I call him my little big brother because he's almost two years younger but TALLL heheh. He was and is my life. And when he joined the military it threw the whole family for a loop, especially since he has a small son who he wouldn't be able to see for months at a time. When he was deployed, it was extremely scary for us all. The first month or two was scary as well. I find my strength and ability to get through this in my faith. I know my promises that are held through my Lord and I know through FAITH that he is going to be okay.., no matter what surrounds him. He's prayed over ever day and I know one day he'll be home safely.
I think you just need to find comfort in that knowledge. One thing I live by is "if what you said would be.... what would you be saying?" What if your thoughts and fears powered what really happened? Think positive. He's going to be okay :)
