In addition to my tears of pride and sorrow.

Congrats! My niece is a Marine and loves it...

Herron5: mixed emotions are difficult, to be sure. I know you are proud of your DD.

congrats & thanks

our nephew left yesterday for Oklahoma.

his mother is proud but really didn't want to see him leave. Marines, also.

That must be very difficult.

it's such an emotional time--such a roller coaster of feelings from moment to moment! Congrats on raising a great kid. I'm keeping you

in my thoughts!
