Goodbye My Sailor!

Well we picked Dominic up bright and early from the base on Sunday morning for breakfast. As the previous few days, we had a wonderful time just spending time together. We went back to our place for an hour before we had to leave for the airport. Wishing so bad that we didn't have to leave. I knew I was going to feel this way. Even though the past three days felt like heaven, I still wanted more!

Here we are, back at the dreaded Naval Base. We all gave our hugs and kisses and of course I had to hold on just a bit longer. I cried, a truly heartbreaking cry, as I held onto my brave, courageous son. Dominic looked so handsome as he walked away straight and tall and proud to join his sailor buddies for there last few hours of liberty - for this week! We had all waited for eight weeks for this time and it came and went - but with very wonderful memories that we will all cherish for a very long time. Goodbye my Dominic - for now!
