Today has been a tough one. Terry and I spent the day trying to make it seem like any other day but we both knew that his departure and travel to Japan was going to begin this evening. It was tough but it was nice not to spend the whole day focused on the sad moments to come. So, we did normal stuff like out for breakfast, a quick pit stop at the library, and Madelyn's softball practice.
I am not sure if taking Madelyn to the airport was a good idea. I think it really hit her what "my dad going to Japan" means...and it overwhelmed her. This made the send off a little more difficult than I thought it would be but I was able to calm her down and get her back into her normal routine when we got home.
Terry will first head to Seattle (he should almost be there) and then from there he will take military flight to Iwakuni Japan. He should touch down there tomorrow mid day for most of us. It'll be Saturday in Japan. They are about 17 hours ahead of us.
Terry's new home...MCAS Iwakuni
It's been a sad day but we are finally able to put it to bed and deal with tomorrow has to bring.
Love you and be well.
