Its been a long few weeks.

And again I find myself apologizing for not posting.

I have been super busy with work, and worrying. Worry bout Nick, bout grandmother in law, and household things. Things have finally calmed down and I can explain at least what caused such concern about Nick.

Nick was facing a article 15 week before last. Seems a fellow soldier who lives off base with is family, went thru the chow line (no no since he gets a food allowance on his check) and gave them a false #. When found out he claimed that it was Nicks, and that Nick let him do it all the time. They pulled Nick out of chow and he was scared, stuttered around, and then finally was able to think clearly to let them know that no he didn't let him use his meal card, but had given him a sandwich out of his food. That DS said everything was cool, after two hours of explaining, then the next day, they c-passed Nick, claimed he had changed his story, and that they were going to charge him with accessory to attempt to defraud the government.
Finally friday a week after c-passing him, They told him the real charges, Attempting to decieve a NCO, and then on Monday he went to discuss whether he should accept the charges or fight them.

Nick called me super excited that nightt. All charges dropped. He was off to drive his car around base for the first time in over a week.

I'm not sure what happened with the other guy yet, I didn't get to ask, but after changing his story three times, I do hope that he gets some sort of punishment. My poor kid has watched his p's and q's since he joined. I am so happy for him. Last week was rough on both of us. He was scared to loose half his pay and therefor his car and then his clearance all for giving someone a sandwich..

As a parent I don't think I have ever felt so hopeless. All I wanted to be able to do is help my child, and there was nothing I could do.

Nick if you read this know I love you and am so proud of you. I miss you more than you know.
Love your Mom.
