Two days


It's hard to believe that my firstborn baby will be leaving home in two days. I have all of these mixed emotions: fear, relief, guilt, anxiety, joy...I know the Army is going to be really good for him. He will learn to be a man. He will provide for his own little family. He will find his way in the adult world. But, it's still difficult for me to sit here with a smile on my face and hide the tears. I don't want him to know I am sad. I only want him to know I love him, I am proud of him and he will be missed.

Hey Crystal, I know exactly how you are feeling !! This is my sons 3rd week at boot camp. There will be lots of tears both of sadness and because you are the proudest mom in the world. If you need a shoulder, I'm here for you.
Big Hugs!!

Oh Kathie
Thank you for the support. I definitely need it. I usually think of myself as a strong person, but when it comes to my kids I am weak. Does that make sense? LOL
How is your son doing? Do you get to hear from him?
Thank you again hon!
