19 days

19 days until he leaves. Only 19 days - two weeks and 5 days, that is it. There were days when he would get on my nerves and I wanted to send him to my nearest relative permanently! Then, of course, there were those days when I couldn't hold him close enough! Now, all I have is 19 days.

We talked to the Recruiter yesterday about what happens when we go to Columbus, OH. That is where he gets sworn in, gets his physical, and in the morning he boards a plane to go to Boot Camp. I keep thinking I can't do this. I can't say Good-bye. Because then it all changes. It will never be like this again and I don't want this to end. But it must. As my husband says, it is time to kick the baby bird out of the nest.

So I must make the most of these 19 days. Because it is time for baby bird to spread his wings.
