A year ago today was the first day after the end of Robert's junior year...so technically it was the first day he was a senior. I vividly remember the day. I took Robert to the Navy recruiter and it was the beginning of the process. Here we are, a year later. Wow, did that go really, really fast. I'm grateful, because we needed to get to this point. However, I don't want time to keep moving at this warp speed.
One of the things I remember the recruiter asking me, and many others have along the way, was how I felt about this whole thing. I've always completely supported Robert in this decision. It isn't about me at all. I love my son, and this is his dream. And it has been his dream since middle school. Honestly, I can't imagine another path that would be better for him. Of all the incredibly dumb choices he has made, this is the best decision ever. I am so proud of him!
