I am a mother of 4 adult children one daughter (age 31) and 3 sons (ages 29, 22 and 19). I have a step son age 33 as well, he and My daughter both have little girls, my beautiful granddaughters Camber age 4 and Cassie age 3. I am married to my second husband for almost 23 years. I am at a stage in my life where I feel lost and don't know what to do with myself...I have been needed for almost 32 years as a mom and wife, taxi driver etc .! And now that my youngest is about to move out on his own , & my husband and I not doing so well as a married couple, my daughter just moved from town 30 minutes away with my granddaughter😕 and my 22 year old son Alan has enlisted, has signed and has been sworn into the navy and leaves for bootcamp at the great lakes naval station on January 9, 2017. 😕 I also am going thru peri menopause and have fibromyalgia. I feel like im no longer needed so needless to say on top of all my craziness....im having a very hard time dealing with the fact that my son Alan is leaving in a little over 2 months to begin his journey as a U S service man. I am very proud of his decision to enlist so that he can get the education he wants and he tested well and I guess got a pretty prestigious position or rank as I think it's called. I feel he is headed toward a promising future and of course that makes me happy. But aatthe same time iI so very sad. I can't talk about it without crying. He doesn't live at home anymore but just across town so we can visit often and call or text whenever we want. My life has revolved around my kids and they mean the world to me. So just knowing that im not going to be around one of them whenever I feel in missing him or just calling to say hi and hear his voice. Whenever I want is killing me inside ! On the bright side I feel very blesses that God gave me these wonderful children who all grew up not giving me any problems other than the normal things none got into any type of trouble and all are responsible, fine loving and caring adults. I am full of pride for them all. I know the day I watch Alan leave for bootcamp is going to be one of the hardest days of my life! But also know that when I see him afterwards on graduation day, it will be one of the best moments on my life and I know the pride I will experience will be one of my proudest moments ever.! His future looks qhite bright to me so for that I am thankful!!
