I don't know about anyone else, but here I sit, proud as heck of my son for making it. We drop him off in just a few days and it will be thousands of miles away, in a place we won't have access to him just to talk or whatever. I sure hope this country appreciates what they are getting (and this doesn't apply to just mine. I am sure I speak for many). Yeah sure, the young man needs to follow his dreams, and get on his path (applies to all the young ladies too). We can't hold onto them forever, but thinking about not having him around the house, is sure eating at me and sometimes the tears just come and when they do, watch out. Today, he is cleaning out his room for the last time, and it is tough to watch.
Misery loves company, and I just want to share with this community that if you are feeling down about your son or daughter moving on from you and your home, you are not alone.
I for one will be there for any of you or any of your sons or daughters, as they navigate the waters ahead. Yea the rewards for them promise to be there in time, but remember, they (and us) will pay for every perceived benefit, with literal blood, sweat and tears. May the good Lord bless each and every one of them now and forever. Please don't forget to not only remember your son or daughter when you send a care package, because if it's as when I attended basic military training, there are usually a few of them that don't have anyone at home who can or will send them a little love. Peace to all of you.
