Semper Fi

My 18 year old son called home last night from Okinawa Japan, he said hello from the future. It was Thursday in Japan it was Wednesday here it was good to hear from him. I tend to worry about him with a war going on and all .I had hoped that the war in Iraq would be over by the time he had finished boot camp but it still rages on and it will be two years before I see him again after 18 years of being a mother to him it was hard to see him leave .But there comes a time when the boy becomes a man and strikes out on his own.i wanted him to go to college but he had other ideas. So he went his own way and that's good because after all its his life and he has to make his own decisions now
