And He's Off 7/24/13

After the whole family said goodbye to Patrick at home last Wednesday, I drove him to the MTC and dropped him off.  I was so proud of him.  He was excited and ready.  He said the only thing he was nervous about was falling asleep in class.  He looked so handsome in his new suit.  I told him I loved him and gave him a quick hug and got back in the car and drove off.  I cried for about five minutes and then smiled and laughed.  It really was a happy day!  Things will never be the same and I am OK with that.
