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.

@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.
