I took my baby to the airport today(he's 21lol)He had to go back to the acadamy. He won't be coming home for sping break(he's going to the Virgin Islands with his sponsor) and for the summer he's going to summer school and then working with the plebes(freshmen) so the nest time I will see him will be Christmas. We spent alot of time together this time. I sure do miss him already. Proud of him thro.

oh fern i'm sorry your baby is gone. you sound like a very proud mama. i will keep your son in my prayers. being a mom is the hardest job in the world, even when your kids are grown!!!

It is the hardest thing to let them go, but knowing that you raised a fine young man who is experiencing new things should ease some of your pain.

I know that you are going to miss, but your heart should be warmed with the fact that you seemed to have raised a hardworking and responsible young man. Smile with pride.

Ferny, is he at West Point? My college romance was a cadet(class of '80..first class to include women...back in the days when TRex walked the earth) Or is he at another academy? You must be so proud

Oh Fern

I'm right there with you.

This was the first time in 3 years that my son was home for the holidays. He's in the Navy and stationed in VA right now. I'm just so thankful that he is back from Iraq. It's so hard saying goodbye to them.....in my case, I never know when the next time I'll see him will be.
