I am not a cry in your face good-byer; but if it is one of my children as soon as I am out of sight the tears start. Then I have to find someplace to be alone for a long, long time.
ScampMarine leaving
I have had to say good-bye to both of my boys when they left for boot camp. Then when they were both transferred to West Pac. Scamp spent his first couple of years in Okinawa; while Nuke was stationed in Hawaii aboard a nuclear submarine. Now Nuke is Guam and Scamp is in Hawaii. Fortunately for me, both boys do keep in touch.
I have only had to say good-bye permanently to one person who meant the world to me and I do not relish the idea that I may have to do it again. vw bug and I lost our father two years ago and I still won't say good-bye. I know he is here.

I have never had to say goodbye to sons who have gone in the service but I can only imagine how hard that was for you. Please let them know that I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart for all that they do for our country and the sacrifices they make every day for me to be free!
Lots of blessings of thanks and protection to your boys.
I can't imagine having to say good by to either of my kids.
