Proud Momma

Tomorrow son starts the highway patrol academy. Today Dad, Mom and Son went to the orientation. It was amazing to see so many shaved heads! You could definitely tell the number of men going in. A total of 240 cadets, 17 of them being women - pretty cool! It was great for Mom and Dad to see that the academy is set up for Son to be successful and not fail. They repeated throughout the day how many different ways they support the cadets. During the presentation I was standing next to a young mom with a young baby boy, maybe 8 months old. I thought to myself...wasn't it just yesterday that Son was that little? How time flies. Mom and Dad are so incredibly proud of Son and his accomplishments. The next 27 weeks will be grueling for him and he will have days when he wants to say - I'm done, I'm coming home....but we know he won't! He is dedicated to this commitment and will make an excellent officer because he is such a good person.
