More Graduation Pics

What an amazing ride this has all been. We (Me, Buck, G-ma and G-dad) headed down to SC last Wednesday to see Josh graduate from bootcamp. While the ride was long, the experience was incredible. The first time I got to see my son after 3 months he was doing stretches to get loosened up for the run. He DID see his banner, and I caught a silly grin or 2 before they headed off. OMG, I don't know which one of us was crying harder, me or mom. G-daddy did let a tear or 2 slip before he was caught.

It was so great to be able to just see him, felt like I couldn't quit hugging him. He hasn't lost that much weight, but he is certainly a more muscular and boy did he miss his junk food, lol. Had a wonderful time at the Meet and Greet later that night, members of our message board got together and made bags for those guys who didn't have family there. Was nice to put a face with a name. Friday morning was graduation and I can't even begin to describe the pride I had when those fine young men marched onto that parade deck. It was almost overwhelming. I will post more later about that, for now, here's more pictures and I hope the next 7 days drag by.
