Today was the real send off... I was doing really well until the guy loading the recruits in the van pointed at me and asked our son, "Is that your mom?" When our son said yes, the guy said, "Go back and hug her again. Moms always get two hugs." That was all it took for me to flood the valley. I tried to keep an encouraging smile on my face, but it was really tough.
My mind was filled with so many thoughts: This is the boy who loved Boy Scout camp...except for the initial arrival. I remember many drives to camp with him debating whether he really wanted me to leave him there. He always enjoyed it more when his dad could camp too.
Now he's going completely out of our reach.
