I completely understand how you feel. I said goodbye to my sweet son three days after high school graduation back in '84. I had 11 years to prepare for that moment, but it still came too soon. It was his dream and calling to become a Marine since he was 7 years old, ever since the first Desert Storm. He was 16 when 9/11 happened which made him even more sure of his choice and all the more reason that I didn't want him to go. But in a time when so many of our youth are immature, self centered and lacking respect, it also gave me such pride to send my son off to fulfill his dream and support his country that he so loves. The three months will be long for you all. Write him daily even of its just a line or two and be very upbeat and encouraging. My son has told us often how much the jokes his dad sent from the internet meant to him and kept him going. The first month is the hardest as the training brings them down before it builds them up and turns them into not just men, but Americas Finest. Stand Proud Mom, you've raised a United States Marine! Sempre Fi!
