Well the day has finally arrived.  I dropped Brandon off at the Rochester Armory this morning at 7:30. Besides for a slight meltdown I had last night I think I’m keeping everything together.  Although, I still think it hasn’t hit me.   He will be in Texas for 45 days to finish up training before he goes over seas and I think maybe then I’ll finally have to come to grips with the idea that he wont be back any day now.  He’s been gone so much for training recently as it is it still feels like just another drill week.  His things are still scattered around the house where he left them. Jacket on the chair, leftovers in the fridge, xbox games out and around the TV.  I wonder how long it will take me to put all of it away until there’s barely a trace of him left here.  So many people have told me, “Just take it one day at a time”, so here I am, Day One.
