Lost in the Sea of Green and Blue

He's gone now, the last of my five sons to leave home. He flew away yesterday to his first duty station in Ramstein, Germany, just one young man amidst a sea of green and blue duffel bags and uniforms. I saw his face one last time, turned to me above that sea, and I saw his hand raised in farewell.

Good-bye, my son, and Godspeed. You are on your chosen journey now, and I am left standing on the shore to wave you on your way.
