My little girl left for boot camp tonight. I have so many mixed feelings. I am scared, proud, sad, happy for her, a huge array of feelings. My first one to leave home. I never thought the day would come. I would be happy with all my girls never growing up an leaving. I know most parents look forward to the day the kids grow up and become adults. But most are just going off to college in such. Mine maybe be going into war...
She called a few minutes ago from the Mepps station and bcan you believe it? She was crying cause she is worried about ME??? My kids are the best. She used her 1 call tonight to make sure I was ok. Not to vent and tell me how scared she is, which I know she is. But to check on Me....
I get one more call from her when she gets off the plane tomorrow at Fort Jackson in South Carolina. I was told it will be about 2 minutes she will be allowed to talk. I am in shock still I think. My stonmach hurts tonight and its everything I can do, not to cry right now. I dotn want to let go... Why do I have too? Why cant I keep them home for their lifetime to make sure they are safely asleep in their beds at night??
And my love, Greg, should be landing in Vegas soon. I cant even talk to him right now. I feel so lost tonight and so alone. I know I have 2 more at home still but its not the same. My family is no longer complete :(
