Hi, y'all. I know, given the subject matter, that the temptation to turn
this into a political thread will be strong, but please, I beg of you,
resist!

At 11:00 tomorrow morning, I'm dropping my baby (okay, at 20 he's not A
baby, but he's still MY baby) off at the recruiting office to leave for
Army boot camp. This is really what he wants to do, and I'm so proud of
him I could explode, but oh, my goodness, my heart is absolutely broken!

A couple of weeks ago, when I asked for tomorrow off, I laughed it off
when the folks I work with said it would be hard. After all, he's 20, and
it's time he flew the coop, and frankly, I had begun to wonder if he would
ever move out. But this is by far the hardest thing I've ever
experienced. I cry at the drop of a hat. I'm driving him crazy, just
sitting and staring at him when he's home.

Has anyone else had the empty next thing hit them hard? This is sooooo
unexpected for me and frankly, I feel more than a little silly. Maybe it
would be easier if he were going somewhere that I could talk to him, but
just hugging him goodbye and not hearing from him for a while may turn me
into a nutcase!

Please keep a good thought for me tomorrow, in hopes that I don't make a
complete ass of myself or embarrass him too badly...

Sandi
