I know, I should have written sooner,, but I couldn't, I've been a basket case, a total fruit loop, a lunatic, you name it, I've felt it in the past few days.
July 11 I took Steven to the El Paso International Airport at 5:30am... we were running late, which was probably good thing because the longer I was there the harder it was. I was impressed and happy that 3 soldiers from his former until in El Paso, the 369th Chemical Co., showed up to wish them well..
I held it together pretty well in front of him, but when he got on the escalator to go up to the security checkpoint I lost and had to go hide in the bathroom for a few minutes. My mom and dad did pretty well, but I could my dad was really shook up and I was worried because he had been in the hospital for a few days for heart issues and had just gotten out the night before.
The days in Ohio went quickly, getting things done, and they had a really nice ceremony for the guys and gals as the got ready to leave for Ft. Hood. They are a lot of pics on the link above and some great shots of Steven. Now they are at Ft. Hood pretty much isolated until they leave, he has to mail home his civilian clothes, he won't be needing them.
I'll keep up the writing better, I just had to get myself together, this is going to be hard and I don't want either one of us stressed out, him especially.
