Remember that movie poster for Platoon, where whazhisname is on his knees, arms to the sky, as the napalm hits the tree line in the background?
That's pretty much how I feel right now, as the kid trudges upstairs to sleep, both of us knowing that all that's left is packing his car & him pulling out to head back to school tomorrow.
Feels about like that every single time he's done it, but damned if it isn't worse this time.
I just could weep, and wail toward the heavens ... but putting that in words and typing it here is a lot less disruptive soooo
