Church just out of Boot

Just before leaving to MCT Sep 9, 2008

Camp Pendelton after saying our goodbyes.

I cannot begin to express as a mom the swirl of emotion I am experiencing. Matthew seemed contemplative as he moved into the second phase of his training and had to say goodbye. He is a man now, and I have to let him go on to his dream. As soon as I have words for the experience of having him home and sending him away, I will update the blog and add more pictures. Until then, I will say that I thank God that my boy is in His hands and God cares for him more than I.
