      I have been there and done that. October 2005. I cried like a baby when the recruiter drove off with my baby. I spent the next 13 long weeks, a basket full of emotions. All over the charts. Ups, downs and sometimes turned around. My baby was out there, I could not talk to him, I could not make sure he was eating right, If he was cold I could not cover him. It tore me up. Then that January 2006 when I saw the man he had become, my heart beamed with pride. He is home on visit right now and has announced to me he is married. Another stage in his struggle for independence that leaves this mom's heart aching for the boy I raised. Hang in there.

      My son left Oct. 21, 2008 and that was when the biggest hole in my heart was made. While in school there wasn't one person who did not like him, including parents. He was and is loved by all. I am always told how lucky I am to have a son like him, and I knew it, now he is gone.
