September 11, 2014

September 11 is one of those days that has a special meaning to Jason, and that is besides the obvious remembrance of those who were killed and injured as a result of the strike on the twin towers. It is also the original day that Jason was supposed to begin his career with the Marines. He was waiting, along with a bunch of other guys, to head off to Boot Camp, down here at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, and all transportation suddenly stopped. Well, at least the airlines did, and they couldn't get any ground transport that would accommodate all the guys going off to their various points. Anyway, he basically just waited a week and then his career began, so he actually has two days that he remembers, and always will.

Today was a day for him to remain down and the positive out of that is that the wounds are doing much better. Both of them are showing positive signs, with the one on the left looking like it will be closing up here in a matter of just a couple of days. We are staying vigilant in taking care of them, and it is a joint effort, so both of us are very much involved. Even Linda has gotten involved with all of care for Jason, and that is another good thing. Not much else to write about for today, other than Linda and I worked a little on the garage, and later went to have dinner with Robb and Pauline Frank. Otherwise it was a nice day to just catch up. Thank you, for all the continued support and prayers. Take care and stay positive.
