Pam...you are a wonderful person with a big heart! Your heart maybe breaking at the moment, but you must be so very proud of your son. What a great honor and privilege it is for him to do this. I cannot wait to hear all the details throughout his journey.
I will call you and check in!

well hello whoever is online we have sailor's now.. My son's dad just took him to drop him off at the base and it was the last time i will see him until he graduates boot camp for the ceremonial guard..... We were sitting outside at the navy lodge at the picnic tables when he was saying by and there were others out there and i lost it... I cried so bad all the other moms were crying by the time i got my composure... god that was so hard... one of the hardest things i ever had to do to see him walk away.... my heart hurts sooo badly right now... we are leaving here in the morning and heading home ... I will be home tom evening and then thing's will be back to normal... again if you want to call it that.lol well i will check in again on the way home tom night...

Hi everyone. Liz called me yesterday as I was traveling here to GL. She said that she passed and to thank those of you who sent her letters and cards. I sent some cards to other , but did not get to all. I hope that eveyone loved one passed the test. I look forward to meeting all the wonderful people in this great support group.
