We bid a sad/happy farewell to Justin tonight. He is on his way to Utah. He will spend the next day and a half with his grandparents. He really wanted to go through the Salt Lake Temple so that is what he will do tomorrow. He had a great opportunity to take a relative's name all the way through the temple here and will be getting that person sealed to his parents tomorrow.
We all shed a few tears, some more than others. I thought I would be a mess, but I held it together (after falling apart ALL day yesterday, there wasn't much left!!). Treyton, Justin's youngest brother who is 7, was actually loudly sobbing as he hugged Justin goodbye. Justin went through security, turned and waved, blew us a kiss, and then signed "I love you" before heading off.
We send our son off with love, respect, and humility as he goes to serve our Heavenly Father for 2 years.
