Dear J:
Did you climb Victory Tower today? I read about F Company's plan to work on that yesterday, and I know that Alpha Company will arise to the challenge! (Foxtrot Co already has a Facebook page up, can't wait til yours is there).
I am hoping that you are beginning to feel like a family there. We are missing you so much, and I'm guessing you are missing us... if you have time. That is why this bonding time with your fellow soldiers is so important.
Something that was shared with daddy and I when you were an infant was that our goal as a parents should be to raise you to be
1. Independent of parents (ouch)
2. Inter-dependent of other people (right now that would be your fellow soldiers- something I am sure you're already learning)
3. Totally dependent on God
Probably some of the best parenting advice ever. Thanks, Pastor Burman. 20 years later and it still sticks.
Anyway sweetie, although I know you're learning those first two things on the list, my prayer is that you are clinging to item #3. Because being fully dependent on God not only honors Him in your life, but it will get you through every moment in basic. Remember, He is your tower & strength.
I miss you. I love you. I am more proud beyond words.
Love, your momma
