That day you NEVER saw coming.
That day that NO ONE tells you about as a parent.
That day when you actually wonder if he was ever REALLY your little boy or if it was all just a dream.
That day when you find yourself ADMIRING your own child.
That day when the one that used to look up to you while holding your hand to cross the street is NOW the one that you look up to.
@gladflicka No, it is Norwich University - the oldest private Military college in the US and started by the founding commander of West Point when they kicked him out for introducing a concept called, "The Citizen Soldier" - a concept that has been since adopted by all military branches.
@sinbach beautifully said!
@sinbach He still looks up to you Dad. What a blessing!
@sinbach for me to say you must be proud is the understatement of the year. Congratulations to your son and you both as parents. Well done!!
@sinbach so.... Ok. I'm just gonna jump in and sound completely ignorant - cuz I'm am!! What does the ring mean? Is he all done? What branch of military is this? Does get get somewhere now... I'm sorry! I'm totally clueless. But! I join in your joy and pride in your handsome son.
@sinbach * Does he get "sent" somewhere now*
@MaryMamuzich no, he is a junior. He still has one more year.
@MaryMamuzich the ring the most special part of the junior year for any military academy. They really look forward to it. My son works in the local military museum where many of the past rings are on showcase, so he is particularly excited about this.
@sinbach thank you. I'm happy for him and your whole family. Watching our kids grow up is hard but those moments you look at them with pride and awe is something a person has to live because it's a time when words have not power.
Congratulations ❤️
@sinbach is that West Point?
