<p>I’ve been doing this since 2001 X 3. I still tear up everytime one of them leaves. S1 went of to the Peace Corps and things just didn’t seem right for almost 2 1/2 years. Finally he’s back state side. He’s still not at ‘home’ but it feels much better.
Back in 2001, September 11, was S1’s FIRST time away from home on his birthday. He was in boarding school 1,500 miles away on that horrific day. Can’t describe the feeling.</p>
