Blue Star

Well, this is it. Less than 12 hours before my brother leaves for a whole year. I don't even know what to write. I have to get up at 4:30am tomorrow because I need to be at my parents' house by 6am. The chief of police and one of the officers that my brother works with are driving the family up in the cruisers, which is extremely kind of them. I don't think I'm going to get much sleep tonight though. It's already 10:30 and even though I am not wide awake, I just know I will toss and turn if I go to bed.
