I know you are missing your son and it must be a hard night for you. It is so hard to say goodbye, but he will be back before you know it. You hang in there and know what a good man you raised.

((((((((((((((((((lonote)))))))))))))))))))

Love to ya,
Tim

You are right, you had to honor what he wanted.  I can't even put myself in your place.  My son is only 2 and it breaks my heart just to drop him off at daycare - I can't imagine watching him go off to join the military.  I have so much respect for military men and women.  I grew up a military brat, my brother is in the Navy - hell, I even married not one, but TWO Air Force men... lol.  But you know what?  I wouldn't want my son to join.  But if the day comes where he decides that's what he wants, I would do the same thing you did.  I would give him my blessings.  You are so wonderful, and such a great mom.

This isn't what I wanted its what he wanted. So I had to let him go with my blessings And I am full of all those emotions.

[lady_m]

Oh honey you must be full of emotions - sad, proud, worried.  I am so proud of him, and of you.  Your son may be a man on his way to defend his country, but he's still your baby!
