"I'm Gone" -my son wrote this a week before he left for Great Lakes
I try to write this everyday
my tongue gets tied on what to say
you guided me through good and bad
I'm leaving soon but don't be sad
A man I am thanks to ya'll
I promise you that I will call
You've raised me right
and that I know
through laughs and fights
which made me grow
your sons a sailor
and damn proud to be
I'm serving our country
the home of the free
so when you can't sleep
just look at the sky
on that ship
so will I
I'm not scared
there's no reason to be
beleive in God
like you've taught me
four years I'm gone
alot will change
don't let Jessica forget my name
a life to live
and alot to see
thank you guys
for loving me

That is so beautiful. It just reminds me of the talk that me and my son had the day that he left. He told me to never doubt anything that I had done or didn't do while raising him. He believed that I did a great job and that if he could pick any mother to be his, he would have picked me. Even when you think that they don't notice when you are doing your best, they do. It may take a while to hear but you will.
