Well, the time has come and gone and I'm ok. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Grant left at 9:15 this morning to get on a bus to go to MEPS in St. Louis. Then tomorrow he will fly to Ft. Sills, OK. He spent time this morning talking to his sisters, each by themselves. And wouldn't tell me what he said to them. Knowing my son, he gave them strict instructions on how to behave and the consequences upon his return for any bad behavior. (lmao) He didn't have much to say to me, which is ok, as my son and I have a bond that doesn't need words. I chose to write him a letter and stick it in his bag when he wasn't looking! Saying all the things I knew I wouldn't be able to say when he left without tears. And since he can't stand to see his momma cry, i Know he understands. I am so proud of him, and can't wait to see how this experience changes him. Thanks to my sis and all my friends on here for your continued support. One person in particular, and they know who they are!......MUAH!!!! MUCH LOVE!
