Graduation!

One month until he graduates and we can see him!!! Then 6 more weeks until I'm no longer a "single mother"!!! We are doing great alone but would be doing better with him here! We miss him so much!!! I'm surprised by our strength! Sophie talks about him so often but in positive ways!

Hours away!

Today is the day! We have to get 4 months worth of hugs, kisses and family time in before he heads out! I'm terrified yet excited! I can do it. One day at a time. If I try to think of the whole time at once I freak out. I can do Monday. After Monday I'll attempt Tuesday and maybe Wednesday. I won't think further than that. One day, one moment, one blink of the eye. I know he's only going to boot camp but he is our world, our family pillar. Never realized how much I leaned on that pillar until its taken away. Will I fall to the ground, crumbled, or will I stand up straight and hold tight to my family? I choose to stand strong until he's back to help me. Wish me luck and pray for strength. He's gonna do amazing in the Army. The least I can do is do amazing at home. Fair is fair:-)
