Matt begins Airborne School tomorrow.  Today he's a little bored, a little lonely.  Breaks a mother's heart.  Even as they move into adulthood, you still want to heal all their hurts and fix everything for them.  It's hard to hold back.  They have to experience the difficult situations of life just like we did.  It's like the butterfly emerging from it's cocoon.  Without the struggle it can't fly.  The struggle of getting out of that cocoon strengthens it's wings.  It's really hard for mom to stand by and watch and not try to help. 


So I just let a few of his friends at home know he's feeling down and asked them to give him a call sometime today but not to tell him I asked them.  Hopefully, that will cheer him up and get him through the rest of today.  Once he starts tomorrow I think he'll be okay.  He hasn't had many days to himself over the last four months and being stuck somewhere with no friends and nothing to do is a little overwhelming.
