Leaving March 24th
The days are flying by. Can't believe my daughter will be leaving Tuesday for Boot Camp. I'm going to miss her so much! I started to cry the other day during the "National Anthem" while in class (with 2nd graders) and had to leave to compose myself. The Anthem always meant a lot to me and I always stop whenever I hear it playing to show my respect for my country and to the men and women who proudly serve our country. But, now it really is hitting home with me. Now, it means so much more because of my brave and courageous daughter who will soon be serving her country as a Sailor. So proud of her and of all our sons, daughters and loved ones who also serve/will serve in the military. Hug your loved ones for me and tell them "Thank You".

The nice thing about this site is we know exactly how you feel. My son left on Tuesday, and it felt like the worst day ever. I just have to trust my son's decision, pray for him daily and know that our kids are doing something way bigger than we ever will know.
The next week is going to whiz by for you and it is going to be rough...Just know that we are here.

I totally agree with you on all accounts. I believe and have told my daughter that what she is about to do is by far the most courageous act that anyone in our family since her grandfather has embarked on. I won't worry about her because she has God and the Navy watching over her. I'm not a religious person but I do believe this.

It is 9 am tomorrow for me. We just returned today from my other son's wedding. I know I will break down and really cry sometime soon, but I can't yet. The house will be so quiet, so quickly.
