What does it mean to you to be a military mom? as submitted by Renee My
son enlisted into the Army at 20 years old, he was married in July of
2006, left for Boot Camp in October of 2006, and now his first child, my
first grandchild was born February 28, 2007. My son has been able
to come home after Boot Camp for two weeks, and he was able to come home
for three days for the birth of his child. His commanding officers
have been very gracious with allowing him to come home. My son
told me when he was 10 years old that he was going to join the Army. He
is currently in training at Fort Lee My
son is a good person with a big heart, and he is a family man. He
has made the greatest sacrifice joining the Army, and being away from
his family. I am learning to cope with him being away from home,
and for me I now feel pride, and love for my son’s decision to join
the army. As a parent of a solider, I have to support his
decisions, trust him, and love him. My son wants to retire from
the Army, and with that in mind I must learn how to deal with being away
from him. My heart will always long for him to be near me, but my
pride, and joy in seeing my son doing what he has always wanted to do,
can ease some of the pain. I
pray for every soldier’s safe return, and I pray for every family who
has made the same sacrifices as my family, and please pray for my son,
and family.
