Deployment Ceremony

It came so fast and as much as I try to convince myself that I've been mentally preparing over the last year, I will never be ready for deployment. Yesterday was Wayne's ceremony and my parent's came for support. I thought I'd make it through, but as soon as the Chaplain started speaking, the tears came. I didn't realize the News camera had spotted us though, my mom's arm was around me and that must've made for a news moment during the ceremony coverage.
