My dad is up there now, he's the Senior Chaplain for the BC Army Reserves, and is now the Senior Chaplain for the task force out there.
It's amazing how fast it goes, we were all afraid he'd get called for the middle east, but never did, and so we figured he wouldn't get called for this...
I'm moving out this Friday, and want him around, we're very close and he's like my rock. It's amazing how hard it is, even though he's just a couple hours away, and not in danger (he's doing logistical stuff, and counselling, etc), but it's still so scary and upsetting, my heart is with those who's lives and homes are in danger.
But, he was just about finished vacations, so he's rested, and amazing at everything he does, so you can all know they're getting some fresh blood up there to help things!
