And Now For a Bit of Good News

Justin graduates MCRD on October 3, and will be returning home with me for 10 days leave. We heard from him last night, and due to his performance during basic training, he has been given an additional 14 days leave. He will be working with the local recruiters those 2 weeks before returning to San Diego for additional training. I was so looking forward to seeing him, but knowing he'll be here for well over 3 weeks has me over the moon. He sounded incredibly happy, and sure, and changed. That was enough to have me sobbing with relief, and bursting with pride.
