I lost my son while serving as a Sonar Technician aboard a DDG on Nov. 19, 2018. It was and remains the single most horrific experience of my life. I lost my best friend and my hero. He only got to be a father in his mind for about 3 weeks. The Gold Star coordinator was at my son's service this past Dec. 7th. She came to me and introduced herself and offered any assistance my family needed at any time and without end if necessary. I wasn't at the time ready to discuss anything of the sort. A few months later I've reached back to her, the support has been nothing short of amazing. She has shown my family compassion and support beyond anything I could have imagined. I am still having a very difficult time even writing this note but I have come a very long way from what transpired close to a year ago. I've lost my parents and a brother but that pails in comparison to the loss of my son. He loved the Navy and his country and was proud and honored to serve. Nothing will every bring him back but one thing I am sure of is that the Navy genuinely cares about their own. I've never been one to ask for help from anyone but I have never been broken this way. My GS Coordinator has made a difference to me and my family. She has helped me know that my son did not pass in vain or was just another number or statistic. I will forever be grateful to my special angel Diana.
