He left yesterday. Today, he starts his life with his new family (he always wanted to be in a big family). I cried like a baby, but I made sure he knew they were happy tears. The only reason I'm sad is because it went by so fast. I've cherished every moment I've had with him through the years. I just hope he makes it through boot camp. He's in special ops, and they tell him it will be twice as hard. He says he ready.

My husband drove him up to the recruiter's office. I said my good-bye at home. Just before he walked out the door, he told me he had a song for me. He gave me a big hug, turned on the CD, and walked out the door. The song was "Thank You" by Boyz2Men. Here are the lyrics:

I was young
And didn't have no where to run
I needed to (wake up) and see (and see)
What's in front of me
There had to be, a better way
To show I'm grateful

So I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me

Chorus:
Cause even though when times got rough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)
When I felt I had enough
You never turned away
You were right there
And I thank you (thank you)

All through my life
I knew that you'd be my world
Knowing every where I go
Things you taught me they would show
So many times and changes
You've seen me through
I sure enough couldn't have survived without you

And so I thought up this song
To show my appreciation for lovin' me so long
You don't know how much you mean to me
