bbbb's blog: "My Marine "

I remember the first time I held you in my arms, proof that God does answer prayers, I cried!

I remember your first day of kindergarten, I cried more than you!

I remember graduation day how proud I was, hearing your name and watching you receive your diploma, I cried!

I remember the day you told us you were joining the United States Marine Corps, my heart skipped a beat or two and oh yeah, I cried!

I remember that early morning I drove you to the bus for boot camp, oh yeah I cried!

I remember listening to those songs on the radio and news on television, I cried!

I remember your deployment day, wiping tears on that long ride, hoping we would never get there. I cried so hard giving you that last hug for awhile knowing my heart and soul was being torn apart knowing you would be so far away and even this time the good ole cell phone would fail me, oh yeah, I cried.

My Marine, as you can see moms have endless tears because of love and respect for the Marine you have become but until the day you are in my arms again like the first day of your life.....smiling that melt my heart smile, remember how very very proud I am of you, My United States Marine....and oh heck yeah, I'll cry!

Love Mom
