If there’s one thing I’ve learned about the military after all these years, it’s that you don’t actually know the plan until it’s being put into play.
You’re probably wondering where the pictures of Clay kissing the kids good-bye are, or the pictures of him walking away. Well, even though today is Day One, Clay will likely be home tonight. So much for fanfare and good-byes! We found out, yesterday that he would be checking into the program…..in San Diego. So, while he is technically “gone”, we don’t yet know what day he will truly walk away. ~Sigh~ You learn to go with the flow in this life! So, we kept the day as normal as usual and everyone went off to school this morning, wondering what to expect for the rest of the week.
I guess we’ll all find out together.
Have a great day~

That’s great to have more time together, but I can see how it was hard in a way too bc you’re all prepared (as much as you can be) mentally and emotionally for saying good bye. Keep us in the loop; have a good rest of the day!

The life of the military family. Until you have actually gone, plans are never set in stone. For 6 months now we’ve known we were ‘going’, then a week ago a spanner in the works with a change of plans, then 4 days later, plans are changed back again *sigh*.
