My son michael was in a bad place. He wasn't terrible but, he had some friends that mom and dad's wouldn't agree with! Now don't get me wrong he wasn't hurting people and he wasn't into heavy drugs unless people think weed smoking is a heavy drug! During my son's senior year of high school his dad decided to send him to my house. ( dad and i have been divorced for years and my kids including michael lived with their dad) not cause i was a bad mom but, because at the time we separated he was well,better off than i was!! Michael came here and completed his senior year of high school!! I watched my baby walk down that isle to collect his diploma!! It was a tough road for him being bounced from home to home but, he succeeded! I was so proud of my son! One night while laying in bed he came into my room and said " mom i really need to talk to you" his look in face was one of determination!! That's when he told me he signed up to be a marine!!! He had signed the paper work before he told me cause he knew i would try to stop him! Well, now my son is a PFC and he will be graduating school in november!! All i can say now is how proud i am that my son made a choice to change his life and to want more!! Ooooo Rah!!!
