We have the airline tickets to graduation the day he left!!
Went to San Diego at the end of July to see my boy graduate. (my youngest, and more like my brother than son) Good grief I missed (miss) him so much. When the ceremony the day before graduation was over, they turn the young Marines loose to enjoy Family Day. I ran over several people to get a hold of that boy. I hope and pray your boy stays safe, and you have a great time with him.
