Taylor graduated from tech school yesterday. We didn’t go down to visit, like we did when he finished basic, but it’s still kind of a big deal. It means he’ll be leaving the US soon and heading for Korea.
Today, my wife was taken by surprise when a group from the army ran by our parking lot and it brought her to tears thinking about Taylor. That was no April fool’s gag, it really hit her hard. They say it’s much harder on Moms that it is on Dads and I suppose that’s true.
It’s also true that a lot of marriages struggle when the nest becomes empty. I don’t know how much of a factor that was in our situation, but it definitely couldn’t have helped. I’m so thankful to be where we are now.
