talked with my Joe last night before he went out with friends to hang out over coffee. He's ready .. hope I am.. been good at not letting him see me cry.. he proably thinks it doesn't bother me.. thats a joke.. tears flow freely...God i'm going miss him but this is his calling and the hard part will be BC once that is over he feels it will be much easier. He has a friend, girl going to Great Lakes same time. I am lucky we're just 1 1/2 hour away and his A school will also be Great Lakes. thanks for the encourgaging words.
