One of my favorite quotes is by Dr. Seuss. “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.” I find this quote to be very comforting when I’m faced with the many changes brought about living life as a Navy spouse. One thing always consistent with Navy life is moving. Each move brings new adventures in new locations and new friends with whom to share them. Unfortunately, too often, paths crisscross for only short periods of time. Dina and her kids left Japan for vacation today. She will return and move while I am away next month. Last night we enjoyed one last delicious dinner at Sushiro. Our favorite!
True to typical form, we made friends who were more than willing to have their picture taken with the two tall and cute Americans.
Happiness is friends and a big slice of tuna.
The night wouldn’t be complete without a stop or two at combini for chu hai.
The best picture and memory of the night was Dave giving Eme a shoulder ride up the hill on the walk home!
I will miss you, my friend. Thank you for all the laughs, adventures, and morning runs to the beach. A quick throwback picture to our first run to Zushi beach last October.
It’s not sayōnara, it’s only jā matane – see you later…
