Monday morning- very early- Master and I will be loading up the car with two teens and various luggage and munchies and heading up to South Carolina. We'll be visiting with His family for two days and then...............

Off to Parris Island where we'll watch the oldest um graduate to claim the Title of United States Marine!!!

I am so proud and so miss him and so much a big puddle of mommy waterworks.
Master has loaded the car up with tissues in preparation!

I'm still in shock- this man, this MARINE - born to a girl who travelled in Central America for Witness for Peace in the 80's; born of a long line of lefty, pacifist jews; born to the fifth generation of a prophesy that said no male in the bloodline would see combat (and no one has). This is my son. He makes his own path; follows his own drummer. He's a great drummer, yet skips the rock shows and buys tickets to the Ballet. He plays beer-pong, yet doesn't drink. He's a crack shot and earned an expert rating on the rifle range at boot camp. For all my confusion in where this unique person came from, I am just so proud of the man he is becoming.

I want to thank all the wonderful people here who have given me so much support- from his burst appendix last April (when he went into sepsis and was in intensive care) to his H.S. graduation in May to his leaving for boot camp- I have come on this 'kinky' site and found friendship, love, support, caring and laughter.

Hejira,

I remember when you told us that he had made this decision and when he was leaving for boot camp. I told you that he would make you even more proud, and I can see that he truly has. I come from a military family and I think it's just terrific that your boy is becoming a man, and one that will always wear the title of United States Marine with honor. Have a safe trip and know that you have raised a trememdous young man.

Love,
Red

hejira,
Gosh, it's amazing how much has happened in a year for this young man! Hard to believe the path from that scary appendicitis incident to now! i am more than thrilled for all of you. But i think the thing that resonates most for me is this:

quote:

This is my son. He makes his own path; follows his own drummer

.

Nothing could make me prouder as a mother than knowing i raised a child that is steadfast, determined, and unafraid to live their own life. Well done. Mazel Tov!
