Camp Humphries and Osan Air Base

It is another frigid day here in Korea. I overheard  a guy in the lobby of the Dragon Hill Lodge that is colder in Seoul thank it was in Fairbanks, Alaska. That is cold.  But we wrapped up and hit the road to Camp Humphries and Osan Air Base.

There were a couple of very touching stories that kids told Trevor.

The first involved a little third grade boy. During the With You All the Way song that we play at the end of the performance Trevor noticed a third grade boy crossing his fingers and putting them over his heart. Trevor called me over and to take a look and he did it again. The boy was boy was obviously feeling something as he continued to do this  and take some deep breaths  to keep himself calm. We were both wondering what he was thinking and feeling.

After the question and answer session Trevor went up to him to say hello and see what was going on. The boy began to tell Trevor what was going on. It turned out that boy was missing his best friend. His friends parents were going through a divorce and they moved away in a day. They never really got to say goodbye. But they made a pact that when they each got through with high school they would move to Texas and try to find each other.

As I write this I am having to step away and take a deep breath. That boys expression and worries really touched us. But as Trevor so warmly does he talked to the boy and they came up with a few ideas on how to keep his friend in his heart.  He and Trevor shook hands and he walked away knowing that someone was with him all the way. And that he had a new friend in Trevor.
