Erin is at MEPS right now, clearing her final medical, getting travel briefings, etc. I will leave very soon to go
witness her swearing in ceremony and then dash to the airport to wait with her until she departs for bootcamp.
I thought I would be terribly sad this morning knowing the day has come to kiss her so-long (hate goodbyes).
I am not sad. I am full of excitement and pride for the young woman I have raised. I will miss her horribly, but I know
this is the start for her to accomplish so many of her dreams. I hope she knows how desparately I love her and how
proud I am of her.
