It's hard to believe that 23 years ago on Mother's Day, I became a mother for the first time. Now that little boy is all grown up and serves in the United States Air Force. Today, May 15, 2009, Eric graduates from his specialty training in Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri, and is flying home tomorrow for a blessed 26 days! Yahoo! Oh, how I wish we were there for his graduation.
Eric, the one who didn't care for academics much in high school, received the Distinguished Graduate Award, in Recognition of Outstanding Academic Achievement.
These pictures were taken in January. We all flew to Lackland Air Force Base in Texas for his basic training graduation .
At this stage in our lives, being together happens fewer and farther between. We're all looking forward to seeing him. With Gage's pending mission, who knows when we'll be together again?

Wow! It's amazing how kids find their own paths! I'm glad he'll be home for awhile.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! We are so proud of Eric! We hope we can see him and all of you when we come up. May 29th to June 2nd, I think.
ReplyDeleteHe has your smile!
