Tears cause I am a mother..
Ok...so today is going to be a weepy day for me.

My daughter gets on a plane bound for Fort Jackson, SC to start her basic training at 1:45 pm today.

I can't tell you the conflicting emotions I am experiencing. Pride that she has come this far, worry for her young marriage being separated so far so soon, saddness that she *isn't* by baby girl anymore, concern for the physical and emotional stress she will be undergoing during her Basic Combat Training.

WAH....I know I am going to get all teary at the airport.

I need a hug!!!

Anyone in or near Fort Jackson, SC? We will there in late August for her graduation.
