My baby Roman has moved on...

Well, Roman has moved on with his life and is now at the Naval base in the Great Lakes area. He is in the Navy Nuclear Program and as of Sunday September 7th has shipped out to boot camp. We love him lots and wish him well and I know our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ will be with him always and have guardian angels to watch over him. We are so proud of his decisions for his life and look forward to his accomplishments. At the same time with having Nathaniel get married and join the Air Force and move to California having Roman gone the same year is hard. Dylan asked me today when I told him to take care of the trash why I didn't ask either Nathaniel or Roman to do it. Little pipsqueak he knows cuz he is the only one left at home still. Oh my I love all my sons so very much and miss Roman alot at this moment as he just left. I miss having Nathaniel around to talk to all the time as he was my buddlies most of his life. I have always had a wonderful love and respect for my children and I know that will continue for the rest of time and eternity. It is hard to let go and deal with them growing up even though you know it has to happen and you are so proud of them and the life choices they have made. I respect their decisions and agree with them however; it does not mean that I don't miss them or wish that I could turn back the clock and just have a bit more time with them. They are all three such wonderful young men and I am honored and privileged to have had the time with them all that I have...Dylan your still stuck with me for two more years at least buddy and I am gonna hold on tight. Funny how you cry when they each go to Kindergarten and then you cry when they graduate from High School and when they get married and then when they go off on an adventure called Life...and I know I will cry again with love and joy when they have their families. I miss Brandon so much too. I get to call him every week but he is such a wonderful young man and so loving. I miss him so, and have such wonderful memories of him as a child for the time I was able to have him also. Oh and by the way the picture of him is with him holding Liz and Devin's baby Matthew who reminds me so much of Roman when he was a baby...such a munch a bunch they both are.
