Now my house is quiet again . . .

Today my house is quiet and life returns to the "normal" I have become used to - not exactly the life that I would have chosen.  My son returned to the Navy yesterday morning.  You would think after 3 years I would get use to this but you never do.  Each goodbye is hard and each hello is WONDERFUL!!

Please do not get me wrong.  I am so very proud of my son and how he has grown in the Navy.  This was the best choice for him!  And that is what is important!  He did what was right for him!  But Mothers will always be Mothers and want to keep their "babies" close no matter what their age. 

I know God will look after him.  He told me He would and I believe Him.
