We are not a military family. A year ago, I was in a similar emotional journey like yourself. Am I still in it? Yep. My one and only, my son, received two appointments and is currently at USAFA finishing his freshman year. We live in Florida. He’s in Colorado Springs. There’s a time difference and it takes almost a day, depending whether or not airlines cancel or change your flights, to visit. Has it gotten easier for me? Nope. Has it “changed”? Kind of. I constantly remind myself it isn’t about me. He is thriving. I couldn’t be prouder. But I miss him terribly. I don’t let him know that. I would feel worse if he felt any guilt in his decision. I did my job. Now it’s time for him to do his.
