Last March my dad told us that there was a chance he would be deployed (部署,派遣)overseas. My brother and I didn't think anything of it and forgot his words . Two weeks later, Dad didn't come home on time. We didn't think it was serious since it wasn't the first time. We waited, and finally at midnight Dad came in. We asked where he'd been. He just replied , “I am leaving tomorrow for Afghanistan(阿富汗).”
Hearing that, we were in shock , thinking that this could not be happening to us. But when he started packing his desert uniforms we knew it was for real.
He sat us all down and my brothers and I had a discussion about what we were going to do while he was away. And then we stayed up and helped him get ready. We ironed his uniforms and talked more about what we needed to do. We didn't get to sleep until 4 a.m. Therefore, my dad called school to say we were not going to be there that day.
We took off for Madison where he would check in and get ready to leave. When we got there the official told us that he wouldn’t leave until 5 p.m. We had our last meal together and then headed to the airport. We were told it was time to leave.
“Nothing is going to happen to me, and I love you,” he said. Then he was gone . We left the airport not saying anything to each other.
My dad is still gone, and he won't be home for a while. He talks to us occasionally on the phone. I hope that my story makes you think about your own family now and what counts to you.
