[QUOTE="nvts, post: 175858, member: 3814"] It's got to be so hard to have 1/2 your heart filled with pride while it feels like the other 1/2 is being torn out. I'm so sorry you're facing this. My kids are still young, but the parents of kids leaving from the "nest" of family for the military really have it the hardest. Most send their kids to college, but they know where they'll be. They know that they can reach out, or hop in the car, or on a plane and see and hold them. To a degree, the kids are still under their control or suggestion. The military makes all of the decisions now. Care packages will be very important to you as well as her. They will allow you to comfort her when both she and you need it. And a care package doesn't have to cost a fortune. It could be "stuff" or a letter with a pressed flower in it. I wish there was some great wisdom I could impart, but I'll offer a shoulder and a hug!
