One Last See Ya Later

I just found this picture and it made me all mother-heart happy.  The Monday before Alec left for boot camp, we all went to an outdoor ampitheater to listen to Ben sing with his a cappella group.

Alec had come from a meeting, so he drove back home in a separate car.  I stopped and watched him walk away, thinking that I'd best get good at watching him leave.

But I liked the thought of him going into the light - to new horizons and exciting challenges.  It's fun, in a heart-wrenching way, to watch your kids grow up.
