Today
Today I am neither funny nor<b> witty..... </font></b>I am broken. I have cried to the point that my eyes are gritty and raw. My mind races with thoughts of everything that I've read and seen on the Marine Parents website. Pictures of drill sergeants screaming into the ears of recruits as they fumble with bedding and lace tying. My phone is at my side as I know that at some point tonight or early tomorrow morning he will be calling me to scream into my ear as he reads from a script to tell me he made it safely. I am unprepared to hear his screaming voice while his drill sergeant yells at him from behind. I know this will be happening as the recruiter was kind enough to prepare me. But as much as I am dreading this call, I am also desperately, anxiously awaiting this call as this will be the last time I hear his voice until September 17th, the day he graduates basic. Until that point, he is merely a recruit, less than human, not deserving of civility or decorum. Same goes for me, apparently, as I am merely a recruit parent. I must refer to my as Recruit [name] on all correspondence I send him and it must be upbeat and motivational to keep him inspired. I could not bring myself to go home last night, so The Spawn and I went on a spur of the moment road trip. We drove for hours around spots in the UP just seeing stuff we had not yet seen. Big fish at the bottom of Kitchipee.... The sand dunes on US 2.... We climbed t the bottom of the Cut River bridge and waded in Lake Michigan.... And we took pictures from the top of Castle Rock.... More than anything I needed that day to be more than just the day I lost my . Now it is also the day that The Spawn and I set out to explore the world and see the sights.... As a family of two. |

It must be agony for you not being able to even here your son's voice until September. He went in as a boy but will return as a man.
