the send off

Well, we went up to Pendleton for family day. We got to check out his "ride" aka Light Armored Vehicle. We ate lunch. Then we ALL came home. It turns out, Steven gets to sleep in his own bed for one more night. So he just stopped by before 7pm, dropped off his truck for safe keeping and I held my son and tried really hard not to cry. I failed. He is such a strong and amazing person. He told ME I could do it! Sheesh! I wrote him a letter last night saying all the things I wanted him to know because I knew I would cry today! Finally, I told him to play nice with the other Marines in the Sandbox. We laughed and hugged some more. It is very surreal.
