To Scuba Dive.... Or To Not Scuba Dive? That Is The Question!

Since the day Jeremy was injured we have pondered on a lot of What Ifs.. We have questioned what his limits will be, will he be able to do this in the future with his kids, will he be able to do this for leisure time, or will he be able to do the activities he did before he got injured? I believe that over the past few months we have answered all these questions ourselves, there really is no limit for us.

The Rehabilitation Center offers so many trips for the Wounded Warriors; it helps keep them involved socially, it helps keep them motivated with activities, and it helps them see a different perspective on all aspects of life.

Jeremy has had the opportunity to take training for scuba diving plus take a week long vacation in Florida.

The first evening in training Jeremy was a little discouraged because he wasn't able to go down very deep. His ears were starting to hurt and he couldn't take the pressure. After the second day of training it has been smooth sailing. Can you believe it? He is carrying all this equipment on his back, has no legs, and is able to do somersaults under water! Really, he is my inspiration.

I am so glad that I had the chance to talk him into this class because I knew that he could do it and I know that this is another moment he will never forget. Tomorrow he is going to a near by lake to kind of get an idea of what Florida will be like. Then on Sunday I say "See You Later" until the following weekend.

FYI: The See You Later phrase holds a strong meaning for us. From the day Jeremy deployed I told him that I never want to say Goodbye because I always knew that I would see him again. Every phone call was ended with "I Love You, See You Later".
