Thank you so much Everyone. Its funny, I teach what I should do on a daily basis but when it is your own family, your own kid, it makes the "letting go" harder.
I'm hopeful but guarded. 7 days until he is home. I'm washing sheets today, maybe putting a picture on the wall. It is my day off, so I will take care of me too.
I cannot express how much your posts really make me feel that I'm not alone. Thank you.
