Well it's official. I am now the mother of a soldier. There is such a mixture of emotions that goes along with this, pride and depression seem to be the dominant two. Pride for the man he is becoming, depression because he is grown and leaving me. We were allowed to stay with him and watch the final swearing in and eat lunch with him. It's amazing to me that out of thirteen recruits, only four had families there and my husband was the only dad.
Now begins the waiting game. Waiting for the mail and the phone calls.

Hiya stranger! Glad to have you back among the bloggers. What a mixed blessing of pride and sadness for you and your family. I remember when my own brother signed up....What a difference it made in his life. Sending warm wishes your way.
Thanks! It's good to be back. It's been a heck of a year. I should have blogged about it, but there is a lot I would rather not remember. I've tried to keep up with your blog, though it's hard because they have the site blocked at work. I'm glad to hear from you!
