I just told my son that I was sorry if I was making this all about me being sad. I'm sure he's more nervous and worried than any of us are and I wanted him to know he doesn't have to be strong for us. He can let us know his fears and apprehensions also. Then his girlfriend said "there's nothing he can do about it". Yes, he can talk about and say whatever he wants.....keeping in doesn't make it go away. He got a little teary...He must be so freaked out about this decision he made. Going into the military is not a common path for kids from his school and neighborhood. "he's doing what?" is the typical reaction.

There are these small milestones that make my son's path seem more and more real. I've been checking this website for a few months and hadn't seen anything about Feb yet..of course not...that was a long time from now....Here we are. Seeing that some of you are counting down the days (tears) is making it even more real. I cry too but let him know I'm still glad he's going and proud of him. He's used to be crying over commercials and happy things so it's not that out of the ordinary. Problem is when the tears start flowing in a a work situation when it's totally inappropriate and not a time to explain what's going on. I do anyway. Guess anyone who interacts with me over the next two months will be getting an earfull.

Emily is at 69 days. We're fine here, holding up well. In fact I think we're more stressed over her brother right now. He was accepted at the NASA Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH for an internship and we're trying to line up a place for him to stay, a car, etc. He's trying to get all his ducks in a row before going there in Jan. But at least we're all still together for the holidays.
