Permit to Report!!

Oh no please don't say it's true!!!

I am reading these newest posts and can't believe (ok if I think about it I can) that this only the beginning! It has been a wild ride over the last YEAR helping my daughter get her application together and waiting and waiting and waiting. And now I cry daily...and feel anxious and I am going to MISS her so much. And I am dealing with my own issues because she's leaving (which is the way it is supposed to happen, right? If we did things right they leave.) I will get over it and be strong and upbeat for her. I just kept thinking...let's make it to I-DAY...we can do. Now I just got a cold reminder that IT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING! I am so very proud of her though! :wink:
 
Hopeful 2013. You are not the only one who is feeling the pangs of the seperation form your child. I to cry when I think of my son leaving and that he will not be coming home for a long time. I am so proud of what my son and all of those who will be there on I-day have accomplished, but it is still difficult for the parents. I to know that we need to be strong for our kids and that we have helped them get where their are now. If you would like to PM and talk, that would be great.

If it is your first child going away I think it is even harder. It is my second child who will be at USNA. The first is 2500 miles away...which was, and still sometimes is, excruciating. My plebe to be, will be 2600 miles away. As much as I am going to miss him, I am trying to look at the positives...a calendar with blank spots to fill, less laundry, he'll be soooo happy going to the school of his dreams, and I love traveling to the East Coast. And then I remember...he's leaving. Crap.
 
*hugs* It is good to know we are not alone!! I haven't cried everyday but my husband is starting to wonder if I have forgotten our other children! :rolleyes:
