This is the pic we sent in
with his mission papers.
Today I sent my second baby to the MTC. It seemed like all the Mothers were crying in the Temple parking lot....Not me....I don't know why. Will I miss him? Of course! Do I love him? With all my heart! But I am honestly not sad at all. I am so excited for him. I know he will be challenged, have hardships, get sick, and have many other unknown things happen. But I feel at peace. I look forward to his growing up. It's exciting to me. I get teary when I think of him baptizing someone for the first time. Or visualizing him enjoying and loving the people of Mexico.
I love him and I can't believe my baby is this old! But he is, and it is time for him to leave home and go experience new things. And I am happy for him.
You are probably to tired to miss him yet! But I agree, I am only sad for ourselves, he is a great guy and I am excited for him to have the experiences of a lifetime:)
