Public school was called on account of the sleet we had last night. We only have one in public school, but I went ahead and called homeschool out as well just because I could. Even if we aren't all hanging out together, I like having all of my children at home. It won't be that way much longer. I can't imagine what it's going to be like with my son not here, and while he's in boot camp I won't be able to visit or even call. I've added them up. In 24 days he leaves for boot camp. After that we get him for about 7-10 days before he's off to military combat training for 40. Then we get him for another 7-10. And then he's gone. He won't be at college where we can visit. He'll be overseas somewhere and I know I will worry every day. I'm sure there will be a lot of tears there too.
I didn't realize it would hurt this much when he left.
He's still that little boy sitting on the counter wearing his Daddy's Raider's cap holding a ladle while he patiently waited for the apple butter to be ready for canning. How did the time pass by so fast?! I want to go back there and hold him just a little bit more and kiss his sweet little forehead again.
