Really hit home again when I read this just now. I feel exactly the same way. It takes a village for sure. Miss my plebe so much, but know he is doing what he has dreamed of. Proud of all the plebes. His dad had the hardest time, visibly. I held it in on I-day while he saw me, then lost it...
My son and several others in our town are still waiting to hear in Southern CAL. (CA-26). I did not see any from our district, but that does not mean someone else doesn't have it, since many do not post on this forum I am assuming.
