He has arrived safely.
He has arrived safely. At 1:46 am I received my call. I knew exactly what he was going to say. I knew we wouldn't be able to talk. I knew he had to stick to the script. I tried to make it as easy for him as I could. I said hello. He read his script. There was no drill sergeant yelling in the background. I was silent. I could hear his voice start to catch as soon as he said he had arrived safely. I did not cry. I wanted to but I did not. If I had cried, he surely would have too... And that would be bad. At 1:47 am he said good bye and hung up. I will not hear the Middle 's voice again until mid September..... When i do, he will have been retrained to be hardened and indifferent. I feel as though I want to shrivel up and die. The Spawn had put it perfectly though, earlier today when I asked her how she was doing with it all. "I'm fine, Mom. [Middle ] is doing what he wanted to do. You have to let him go to live his life." She was right. |

My rational mind knows this.... My heart is saying something otherwise. I am doing much, much better this morning, though. I was actually able to flip his pictures back upright in my living room. I can look at him without crying now.

I have a friend with 2 sons in their 20’s, living with mama, pushing 300 lbs and no job or ambitions. Be proud. You will do fine.

Be strong, Mom. It will be tough, but he will be fine.

Be confident that he has left the nest and all that you have taught him will help him in his journey of life.

The hardest part is.... I feel like he grew up overnight. He graduated high school on Friday and shipped out to boot camp on Sunday. Two very big milestone moments....
