| Hugs to you. My grandson just finished 6 years with Marines so I know how you feel. I'm so proud of all the men and women that are willing to defend out country. God bless our military.

| Ann, I have you in my heart and prayers . Next time you talk with this fine young man, please tell him that he is very much honored and appreciated for his service to his country. Our babies grow up so very fast and make us proud and break our hearts all at the same time. I was just talking to another YTer yesterday about how fast our little human munchkins grow up. There is a country song by Billy Dean caled "Let Them Be Little". I watched the video yesterday and cried like a baby. I don't know if I can provide a link here, but if you do a search on the title you can easily find the link to the song. |

| I remember when my daughter left for basic training. It was SO hard. When I hugged her good-bye she just felt so fragile to me. The best of luck to your Grandson and a big ((HUG)) for you.

| Thank you all so very much... he graduates on what would have been my sisters 60th birthday November 14th.. he will turn 19 one week prior to graduating.. on November 7th... he was so very close to my sister and she was like another grandmother to him.. she lived closer to him then I did for 8 years of his life... I am so emotional. but cannot show my hubby.. he did 31 years in.. so like he would understand how I am feeling.. Yes I am so proud of him.. but he is my baby, and will be a man when he is done in boot camp..tears flowing anne |
