Oh God. Ouch.

My son has announced to me that he is enlisting in the U.S. Marines.

Tomorrow.

I swear, I support him.

Give me a minute. I can't stop crying.

  4. I'm thinking about you and your little Thundercat. Not so little anymore. Capable of making his own decisions.

    I come from a military family, ya know, so I might see this in a different light.

    It might be OK.

  5. Perhaps it will give him needed direction and discipline. I'll say a little prayer for you both.

  6. Well, yes I'm in a much better state of mind after having a good nights' sleep. It just "came on" so suddenly: Mom, what do you think?... and 2 days later, "I'm being sworn in Saturday."

    Oh, I was hoping for some weeks to adjust to the idea.

    Big changes for him. And for me.

    Change is good, yes?

    Oh my, but you know he had been thinking about it for some time. But he didn't give you any time to talk him out of it! I hope it's for the best.
