Then fall apart. Let it out. It is okay to do that. I'm sure you're worried and proud all at the same time. And lilith is right. Thank you to him and to you.

Please tell him I said thank you. I will tell him..I still remember him as a baby...he is my first born.. Remember the entire point of parenting is to prepare your child to live in the world as a participant. I think you exceeded that. |

My nephew is from GA and he joined the Marines in 98. He was at Bragg. His first tour was in Seoul, for a year. He was in the 82nd Airborne jumping out of planes. He just loved it. Now he lives in Germany.

but I found out today my son leaves sunday for basic training for the marines...I knew the day was coming... Please try to not look shocked when you see him. He's going to be there during the summer months and he will come back thin and dark. My poor Mom, looked straight at me and didn't know it was me. My sister had to tell her,,, lol |

Since before recorded history, Wife's and Mother's have watched their Men leave the sanctity of hearth and Home and go and prepare for war.
You are now becoming part of that tradition too. Keep the strong and brave face for your son, your tears in private. Tell him Thank You, from those of us who have gone before, and Bless You for raising such a son. |
