The next few days are going to be tough around here. As you may or may not know our son was supposed to be leaving for the Navy on Monday but sadly his dream abruptly came to an end a few weeks ago as a previously undiagnosed medical condition was identified that disqualified him from service for now until it can be treated, but with the draw down taking place chances are almost zero that he will ever be able to serve. It was his dream to serve and it has been hard on him, but we are moving forward as he is going to begin pursuing his Paramedic degree in the fall term. It's not like it is a horrible ending as both routes he has chosen are excellent choices but it still sucks to see your kids dream shattered and the obvious hurt in their eyes.
