Charles made it safely to Korea earlier this month. We are so blessed that his schedule and the 14 hour time difference allows us to talk once or even twice a day! Today, for the first time since he left, when Mallory talked to him she asked, "You come home now, Dad?". That was hard for all of us- but the month is already nearly over, and a visit is right around the corner. I know we are all going to get through this year just fine!
Charles would love to receive some MAIL, so if anyone would like to send a little note, let me know and I'll shoot you his mailing address. He also has a San Antonio number that I can give you if you want to call.
Luckily for Charles, he likes all kinds of Asian food, so I think he is eating well out there so far. The base also has many of the "American" staples he likes, too, so I doubt he will go hungry. He typically is waking up and doing PT the same time I am hitting the gym out here. It is funny to think about how we could be on the treadmills right next to each other!
Charles is still trying to kick whatever icky we were all fighting all throughout March at Nellis AFB. I ask you all to keep him and his health in your prayers. Being without his family, his plane AND his health must be miserable. He puts on a good show for us, though!
Prayers for him and ALL the troops out protecting us and keeping us all free! God Bless all of you!
