I thought I was ready. Apparently I am not. He just called and we were just talking hoops and stuff. And it just hit me----In a little over a week I won't have that luxury of picking up the phone and calling him. Or sending him a tect every morning at 6;30, with a simple "I love you kiddo". After the 26th, it will be some 16 weeks before I can do that. I don't why all the sudden this came over me. Maybe b/c I am now realizing my son is, well..........leaving. Not for an overnight at a friends house. Or a vacation. Or a camping trip. But he is leaving for the Navy. Just a tad tougher than I thought it would be.
What stinks is next weekend I have my first college baseball series. He's going to Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon. I cannot cancel my games. So I can't have that weekend(with him). I told him thiugh---I will be there Monday morning for breakfast. And I will be there ro see you off. His respnse was golden:
YOu'll be there this weekend to dad-----Pointing at his heart.
I guess THAT is what got me, huh?
Just thought I'd share.
