Well, Cody has now been in Japan for 1 wk. Heard from him the day after he got there. A wonderful Officer allowed Cody to use his cell to call me and tell me that his ship was leaving port that morning.

It seems strange to know that my son is in another country half way around the world. My heart feels empty most of the time, knowing that being able to visit him is next to impossible with him being so far away.

I now watch the news more closely and gleen the internet for word of what is happening in Asia. This thing that is happening with the 2 Korea's scare me quite alot. I wonder what role our Navy will play in this conflict if it does happen.
