Sister Y took the time amidst a very hectic ceremony and parade schedule to upload pictures the evening of graduation and send them to me so I could witness the event from afar. Phone calls from the family kept me up to date with the latest activities and happenings. And when I talked to Air Force "1" Thursday evening, it was the awesome! Her enthusiasm and happiness was absolutely contagious!!
Air Force "1" left this morning for five months of tech school training which involves two or three months internship training in a medical facility. I look forward to hearing the latest and greatest skills being learned by Air Force "1".
Sister Y described the last four days as "overwhelming". I could hear her struggle to find words to describe how she felt throughout the last few days. She summed it up with "well...every emotion possible". I knew what she meant. I remember how I felt at Mr. MP's BCT/AIT graduation. It truly is indescribable. I'm lucky in that his was only a day and a half event schedule, and after a short visit with the then soon to be Mrs. MP, he returned home for 2 & 1/2 weeks of leave and hometown recruiting. Four days must have been so hard for Sister Y, knowing that at the end of the fourth day, she would deliver her daughter back to base and prepare for a five month long distance mother/daughter relationship, military style! But I know Sister Y...she will lean on me and I will lean on her, as we support our childrens' military lives.
I can't wait to find out where Air Force "1" will be stationed after tech school. Get ready Sister Y...pack your bags. We have two base areas to visit now! ♥
I'm so happy for all who could attend and for those of us here at home who couldn't, we are cheering from the sidelines!! Congratulations Air Force "1" - You Did It!
