A Mission Call

My life has been pretty crazy the last few days. My oldest son got his mission call to the Oklahoma, Tulsa mission. We are so excited for him! We have been shopping and just doing the little things we can to help get him ready.

However, it is very strange to think that my son is going to leave home.  From now on our family dynamics are going to change and it is really hard to get my head around that.  My son is old enough that he is leaving home and I don't feel like I am ready for that step even though I am so very excited for him. 

Parenting is hard. It's hard to watch you kids struggled. It's hard to let them get their independence. It is hard to let them go out into the world on their own.  There is no way I could do all of those things on my own.  I pray that our Father in Heaven will watch over him and help me let him go. Oklahoma, Tulsa mission is lucky to have him coming there.
