ON SAYING GOODBYE



I kissed my son goodbye today, watched him walk towards a plane bound for San Diego, where a helicopter waits to take him to his ship already on its way to Iraq.

Single hardest moment of my life.

It's funny, I am a writer, a lover of words, yet here in this space, in this moment, words fail me.

I love you, Son, am more proud of you than I can express so take care, my boy, and hurry home because a world without you is no world for me.
