Like i say we have been lucky, he went in in 2004, the only proper tour he has done was northern ireland for 3 months, and he was on tv blowing the big bomb up they had in Derry town centre last year, other than that he has done a month in Cyprus, a month in Kenya and 2 years in the Falklands..... He has been asking to go to Afghan since forever and we knew that day would come, just wish it wasnt right now! We havent told my Nan yet cos she will go to pieces when he goes.....
I miss him alot as it is cos we dont see him often, but Im sure he will be fine, just means more bad dreams for me for the next 6 months or so, and that bubs needs to give me a break!!!!
