<p>momcubed: how funny to see this thread revived and read posts from moms who I’ve come to be good friends w/ over the last year…we’ve all met at various USMA events, too! I must say, it’s so much better to be on this side of beast. It’s a tough, emotional year for both mom and cadet. Best wishes to you and all others currently on the roller coaster! My yuk comes home on Wednesday!! Woo hoo!!</p>
