The twins will graduate from high school in 60 days and move on with their own lives and adventures.

The boy will go off to college (VMI) on a ROTC scholarship and the girl to a US Army MOS of 68 Whiskey Option 4 (Airborne Combat Medic).

It will then be the first time in 30 years with no kids in the house. No really sure how I feel about it...

Lucky for the girl that she takes after her mother instead of me. Isn't she something?

I answer to your question...Yes. Look at it this way, all your efforts with the twins has been to prepare them for life, they are following your lead by participating in life. So many today don't seem to have any idea how to do that.

That message right there is enough to make any parent proud Byron. Tell your twins thank you for choosing a life of service to others. Better have taught that young lady some self defense skills, she will get tired of fighting the guys off!

for you and your family.

Congratulations, you must be a proud dad!!

For raising young people with such dedication to others. Such are the very best among us. I sincerely hope that young lady has all the tools she needs to protect herself from all the attention she will receive. Once they are away from home, it is going to be a whole new world to negotiate.

Dang, Byron, I remember you posting pics of your kids when they were, well, kids! She is a beauty inside as well as outside, I'm sure! You and your wife have done a wonderful job of raising all of your kids. You have lots to be proud of!

and makes E-5, tell her that there's a unit I know of that, since she'll be airborne qualified, she'll like to try for.

This is a wonderful time, but a very hard time for parents. We prepare out children for this, but when they fly away it leave an empty spot in our hearts. My prayers for all in this joyful but hard time of transition.

whatever the plan might be.
