Okay, before I start my first official blog.. I just want to tell you it may get a little cheesy. This is basically my way of telling the world how awesome we both are and what this journey brings us to and through.
Ahh, what can I possibly say about the first couple days of this extremely long journey.. To start off it was extremely overwhelming. I went through this with my older brother and I do not remember it being this dreadful. Then again I do have a completely different bond with Mac. I keep replaying certain moments in my head. A few of them I suppose I can share.
Before dropping Mac off at the recruiting office so he could be brought to the hotel before he finishes his process at the MEPS the next day to be shipped to MCRD San Diego.. I remember holding myself together barely talking because one simple little slip up, I would be a puddle on the floor. He picked me up and I remember I smiled at him and all of a sudden every moment together flashed before my eyes and reality set in that he was leaving me and our pup Lucy for 3 looooooooong months. The other is when we got to see him for the last time. I let his family say goodbye to him first.. I could already feel the tears coming. I looked at him smiled and gave him the biggest and tightest hug I could have possibly given him. My favorite part about that moment was definitely when he whispered
"I love you."
in my ear. There was just something inside that made it so memorable.
Still counting down the days until I can be in his arms again!
86 DAYS
