The house will begin to empty...

In some ways Im so fricking happy, but in other ways Im starting to feel sad and scared at the same time.

In six weeks we will see the graduation of my son and my wifes daughter. This ought to be an interesting event to say the least. Its funny how you realize your getting old based on the fact your children are graduating high school. Having been a single parent for most of my childrens life, Im finding it hard to let go of my oldest.

You see, a few weeks after graduation my oldest will then be shipping off to Fort Benning for bootcamp. If all goes as planned he will then move onto the next phase which will be advanced infantry training and then airborne school. Now you may see just why Im having a hard time letting go. Ill be 100% honest with you all here...Im worried for my boy due to current events of the day. I realize this is a choice he made and I support him...but damn its hard on me emotionally.

Now as far as the step-daughter goes...the sooner shes gone the better. This may sound harsh but come live in this home for 2 days and youll understand. Ive set a move out date for August 1st. When that day comes she will take with her a 4 month old child and its father...no more need to be said on that Im sure.
