So, I've posted about it here before, but it's getting close enough to be real now. My oldest son is leaving to join the Navy on Thursday. I'm not normally an emotional kind of guy, but this one is getting to me. Not so much that he's joining the military. I did my 20 and I know what he's getting into. It's mainly that he's our oldest and the first to leave the house on his own. He's a great kid that has given us next to zero worries growing up so it's not that I'm worried about him, but I guess I'm searching trying to assure myself that we did everything we could to set him on the right path (I mean, short of joining the AF instead of the Navy).
Parents, how did you cope when your oldest left home? Bonus points if you sent them off to the military.
