This photo was taken the day Dustin  left for the Army and  the last time I saw him. 7 weeks has been too long already, he has 3 1/2 more to go. :(
My son Dustin is  my best friend, my heart,my happiness,  my world and my everything. He is the reason I wake up everyday, the love I have for my son is beyond any words and I would give my life for him if needed. My son just graduated high school last summer in 2013 and decided to join the Army  July 8, 2014 this year. It all happened so fast, before I knew it he was gone. He is currently in Fort Sill Oklahoma where he is doing his basic training. I am in Warner Robins GA, so we are so far away from each other now, and its hard to swallow that I just cant go visit him when I want to, I will hardly be able to visit or see my son from this point on and that makes it even harder. My heart sunk the day he left and the tears flow almost daily still,  I have been having a very hard time since he left. Im heart broken that hes really grown up and gone.  Im not used to being all alone, not hearing him say mom everyday is so strange. Its been just me and him for the past 20 yrs of his life and being a single mom has been hard but this is what makes it even harder, when they grow up and leave. Its quite depressing at home because its empty, but I do understand he has to grow into his own person and that I need to let him go, hes my only  child and its hard regardless. I am however extremely proud of the decision he made by joinng the Army and I feel so honored to know that my son is a US Army soldier. I couldnt be prouder of him, it took alot of courage to make that decision. knowing he would have to leave everyone and everything behind for awhile. I have nothing but respect for him, I love him dearly and Im so proud that Im his momma.  I am here today because I am in a certian situation that I cannot control at this moment, but I am in the process and have been to correct my situation. I am finding it very difficult  to even talk about this or putting this information out there for everyone to see, or without feeling  somewhat of a horrible parent if Im not able to make it. This has been weighing heavy on my heart for weeks now and I am left with no other choice but to come here and ask for help.  The dilema is my sons Military Graduation falls on the 18th-19th of Sept. not to far from now, maybe 3 weeks away . I lost my job a month ago, and I have seriously been struggling, I dont even know how Im going to pay the upcoming rent or current bills this month and for next month, so with that being said,i do  not  have a dime to my name to beable to purchase airline tickets, a rental car ,the cost of a hotel for three nights, and a graduation present. This is a huge deal to him. If I do not go I truly believe he will never forgive me, he will be hurt and feel I didnt care enough about him to go, and he will be so so disapointed, as I will also. I dont think i could  look him in the face again I cant even bare the thought of not being there as it is. Its killing me to think I might have to tell him I cant go. I cant let my son down and make him feel all  alone through this  process that the military put them through. Hes already homesick, and if I cant see him on graduation day then I have no clue as of when ill get a chance to see him again. That is another reason why its so important for me to be there. He needs that support especially now. I havent told my son of my situation due to he will worry and he  has much more important things on his plate as it is. I dont need to burden him or worry him with my problems. I couldnt do that to him, especially now because now its so crucial with him finishing this process and whether he does well or not. So with all that being said... I am trying to raise the money I need to beable to make all the arrangements I need to make it to Dustins Military graduation. i need the money for the travel expenses , which is a round trip flight from GA to Fort Sill OK and back, a hotel stay for three nights and a rental car to use while im there in those three days hopefully spending time with my son Dustin, and money to beable to spend with him for his graduation present, dinner and things like that. They say some of the military items they need would be great graduation gifts due to they can be quite exspensive.   I hate that im having to ask anyone for help, but when it comes to my son Dustin I will lose my pride and ask for help this one time. I truly want to be there for him and see my baby graduate. It will truly mean so much to me and my son if you can make this trip possible for me, you just have no idea. Please help me get to see my son graduate, I will forever be greatful and it will allow me to feel good about the fact I didnt let him down by not showing up on his big day. I  am needing the donations as soon as possible, I am hoping I can make this amount no later than September 1, 2014 so that i still have time to make the reservations I need to get to Oklahoma,a hotel and a rental vehicle for the days Im there. I want to thank everyone for  taking  time to read this and considering to help me out. Thank you for all and any donations  to help towards getting me there. Again I just want to be there for the most impportant person in my life, I am still applying for jobs and Im hoping that something will open up for me so I wont have to ever be in this unfortunate situation again. thank you very very much and God Bless you all. I am praying and hoping miricles do happen more than anything right now. Im keeping faith that i will make it there and make someone very happy. Thank you for everything , love to you all.
Sincerely,
Diane
