Doc Momma

Hi again, I so look forward to finally getting there and to the meet and greet. I feel guilty complaining about being tired etc knowing how tired our boys are. Can't imagine how they must feel. Here at home it's hard as most of the time I feel so alone in this.I miss him so. We became so much closer in the months leading up to his leaving, We've always been close. The picture I have as my profile pic is of him on the beach in Nova Scotia. You can't see his face but it's one of my favorites. As if he's looking out to his future, not knowing what it holds but ready to find out. I'm going to be a blubbering mess the whole time, I just know it. It's 2am here and I can't sleep--again. I've kept a brave face on the outside but inside, gees I'm a mess. I remind myself that he went to bootcamp, not the electric chair and he's off to do great things for himself and others. I should live by the words I close each letter to him with- "Forward Motion". Afterall, it's hard to fall down if you keep moving, never give up. It was especially useful when learning to ride a horse. He had always loved that. I know he misses the farm here at home, all the animals, and especially the dog. If he and Ian are friends, I'm sure he has seen the picture of our dog that I sent to Tom. I've rambled on enough, I think. If you weren't tired before, you are now, lol. Talk soon and be well!! By the way, my name is Renee. Have a great evening!
