He will be fine.. I will be praying for him daily
hugs and more hugs
Hun, it's not goodbye. It's "I'll see my son, the man, again soon." He's not gone forever. He's just away for a little while to grow and become succesful in life like mom always wanted for him. Hold those memories close...and look at those pictures...and he'll always be with you every second until he comes home again. You're proud of him...and I'm sure he's so proud of mommy, too.
Oh Rob you making me cry thanks for being here,, it helps you know it really does,,,,
I don't even know him and I'm crying! It's a mom thing. Our children need to try their wings, but it sure is hard on us moms. Trust that God will watch over your son. Another penguin for you...wish it could hug you!
thanks Jan,, it is suppose to get easier yet it dont,, I will be fine, I got the family and wouldnt know what to do without them
I know your family will support you and keep you busy, but moms are like the Good Shepherd. We're always concerned about the one that is missing.
I like Rob's comment, too. Your son will come home a man and you will be even more proud of him. Be good to yourself. It may not get easier, but it will become familiar.
He'll be back
take care
your not the only one mom, I miss him too i miss him a lot!!
~Prayers,prayers,prayers~
Steph, I am sending you a great big hug. Rob said it best.
You will see him soon!
tomorrow will be a better day, it will get a little easier. big hugs steph
steph, i am so proud! what an honorable thing your little boy blue is doing... you will see him soon!
Great Pictures of the family Stephanie, and I know how you feel, but children come home, and he will get a leave after boot camp, and spend a couple of weeks with you. Something to look forward too, and I know he will keep in touch with you and you will send him care packages, I remember those days, and boy did I have telephone bills when Dexter was in South Korea, whoa, and I used to be mad about that, but so glad that he called. Take care of yourself Stephanie, my little 58 year old son just moved home with me, (we fight sometimes lol, gone too long) But love it anyway, love, Elsie
Oh, Stephanie my heart is going out to you! My son Quint graduates Sunday and he is planning on going into the Marines so I'll be in your boat soon! It is an honorable thing our boys are doing even though it is hard as a Mom to handle. Keep your chin up and be strong for him! (((hugs))) for you all!
He isn't gone forever....just try and remember this is his time to show you what he has learned from you. He is spreading his wings to fly. Your a great mom. I can tell that from your postings!!
I featured this on Gatherers Gallery. God bless. I could cry.
{{{HUGS}}} God bless you both!
I remember when my only son left and went into the Army. I cried for two days. He was sent to Germany I cried for two more days. But he came back all grown up. Hugs!
Praying for you and him, Steph!
Keep looking up!
I already told you I would be dancing in the streets, on the front lawn and probably naked through the house when all of mine finally ship out......hahaha....
but that's a dad's way.....

You and your husband did an excellent job in raising him. It is time for him to find himself. You are proud but we are proud of you and him. May God bless and keep a watch over him.
Steph,
He's not gone, he's left for awhile and you're always in his thoughts, just as he's always in yours. My prayers are for him, and your whole family, but he'll be back - you just hang onto that.
Gentle Hugs,
Marilyn
((HUGS)) to you~
Wow, I got chills looking at these pics. I would give everything to have what you have. Be thankful my friend, he will be home again before you know it. And he is a handsome young man.
will pray for him
he will be back to make you more proud than ever - just wait and see :-)
Wow, Steph, what wonderful photos........oh my, you have me crying now!!!!! I know it's soooo difficult to see him fly away....it definitely is a "mom thing." Please know that all of you are in my prayers......I say special ones for your son, a handsome young man!!!! I know God will protect him from harm and danger and will bring him back home safely to you!!!
Steph, a mother cries when a mother cries. It is just what we do. We love our children and they are always a memory away even when they are so far. Big huggers to you.
