Setting Apart: Thursday, December 10, 2009 by Pres. J. Barrus - Fresno East Stake 9:00pm
This was a most awe-inspiring experience for us all I think. Somehow the reality of the whole MISSION became this very humbling real thing for not only Cameron but Kevin, Emily and myself last night. From the Stake Center all the way home..... none of us spoke a word and most of us if not all - were wiping our rather wet eyes. Today... is definately a NO-Eye Makeup sort of day too of course!
Today: Friday, December 11, 2009 - Kevin & Cameron leave for Utah - with a midway lay over in Henderson to stay with Uncle Don & Aunt Jennifer and family on the way through to Provo. Car is packed and me of course can only worry about all the things he MIGHT forget to pack and need and so forth.... which is really insignificant in the big picture because he won't have his Mommy to remind, complain, nag and harrass him ANYMORE now will he? Which of course one reason this is so blasted tough for Mom - as of December 16th at 12:15pm his life, my life will never again be the same.
I will miss him so very much because he is my "favorite son" after all - he makes me laugh and currently he makes me CRY alot as well. Other missionary Mom's tell me this will stay heart breakingly tearful for several months but will in time even out and I will be left instead with blessings and pride & Joy as we all see, hear and witness Cameron grow, learn, mature and LOVE his mission and LOVE the people of Alaska.
