My son is leaving on one of these today. Last night I told him I wouldn't cry and he said "thanks". I guess I should qualify that and say I didn't cry in his presence. Because I sure have cried. We sat on the floor of his almost empty apartment last night and had chinese food delivered. It was really special. All three of my children and me. Thank God I am in my icon class instead of work this week. I really didn't understand why this timing has been the way it has been. But I think I understand now. I am with some of the most wonderful people I have ever met. So loving and supportive. No crappy, snipey, cheap political crap.
I just spoke with my neighbor for a long time on the phone and I am also very grateful for her. I talked with my sponsor for a long time last night and I am very grateful for her.
I am also grateful for my icon of Michael the Archangel. He is really coming along. Three more days of this wonderful (but exhausting) class.
Thanks fellow bloggers too. I am feeling pretty pitiful this morning.

Sounds like a wonderful way to say goodbye (temporarily) with all of you there.
Have fun in class today.
I don't know what I could say to comfort you, I am a Mom too and I know these things just pain the heart sometimes so instead I will send you a cyber hug((HUGS)).
Take extra good care right now.
Thanks for sharing~
I sympathize. Down moments are like dark clouds. Depressing but they eventually go away.
Thanks for sharing MaryChristine. I for one am very PROUD of your son.
I see you and copter too,
JJ
You and your son are in my prayers.
{{{{{Mary Christine}}}}} there's a big hug for you. Your son is brave and I am happy you were able to spend time with him before he goes about his next big task.
Trudge needs a chopper like that for her heli pad. Maybe when your son comes back he could land there!
Take gentle care.
What a hard thing to have to do. My prayers are with you both.
