what a day....

Samuel James and I....

Suzanne and Sam and Kathryn....

Sam and Mirielle....

He's gone. He was in the Atlanta airport earlier, he texted me. If he is allowed a phone call when he arrives at Fort Benning, Mirielle will take the call, as she is nocturnal and doesn't work tonight. It was as hard to say goodbye as I thought it would be....but one thing that really struck me was this: after Samuel was sworn in, he stood so straight and tall. Now, I am one of those moms who always reminds her kids to stand up tall and not slouch. Sam never listened to me. But today, he stood tall and didn't slouch:)

    Would I be able to email you, I have a question I'd rather not post.
