Japan
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.
So here I wait, and hope for a call on skype, a message on facebook, an email anything to let me know how he is. If all is well. Something. He hasn't even had time to get me a message as to how to mail anything to him. I hate waiting. But I am learning patience.
looking back.
There was the worry about A school... then the worry about where he would be stationed...
The last year has been good. We got to see Geoffrey and had a tour of the base he is stationed at this Christmas. It was a good Christmas. Had a Navy Christmas dinner with him in the galley... It was good. Very good.
We are now saving to go see him there one more time before he gets reassigned... to where we don't know... and the worry starts again... but not for a year....
The Navy has been the best thing for Geoffrey...
It is still hard when he needs some help... or is it just we want to help him... But for now the worries are over...
Why the NAVY term used for Engineers is "SNIPES"
"I'm Gone" -my son wrote this a week before he left for Great Lakes
