Tomorrow is the Day My Son Leaves for Navy Bootcamp

Tomorrow, my son embarks on a journey that will change his life forever. As he prepares to leave for Navy bootcamp, I keep telling myself to be strong for him. On the outside, I try to smile and show confidence in his decision, but inside, I feel like a total train wreck.

I know in my heart that he will be an incredible sailor, one who will represent our family with pride. He has the strength, courage, and determination to succeed, and I’m so proud of the person he’s become. But, as any parent can understand, the thought of him being so far away is tough to bear.

This is his moment to shine, to learn, to grow, and to take on new challenges. While it feels like a piece of me is leaving with him, I know this is his time to step into the world and make his mark. Tomorrow will be hard, but I’ll hold onto the belief that he’s destined for great things.
