My son leaves first week of June....
I am so excited to see where this chapter of my son's life takes him but I also know I am going to miss him and worry about him more than ever before. It is one of those times in life you want to be so happy but at the same time you are so sad.

My son is leaving on the 3rd of June. He has been in the DEP program for 3 months already and only a little more than 5 to go. He is excited to begin this new chapter in his life, as are we. Of course, he will be sorely missed, but we are very thrilled for him.

My son also leaves on the 3rd. He will be leaving from Atlanta. Anyone else out there leaving from Atlanta on the 3rd. My son is 22 and has been out of the house for 2 years so we are used to him not being around all the time. Still I am nervous for him. That's the mom in me.

My son also left on the 3rd. He had been inDEP since October. I can't believe how much valuable info is on here regarding PIR. His PIR date is July 25th. Is that the same for everyone going in on that date?

My son leaves in 18 days...I can't believe the time flew by so fast. I am getting excited for him to start and I will be more excited for him to be done. How is everybody feeling about their love one leaving so soon?
I know he will do well and he is prepared but I still am nervous for him.
