It has been a week since we dropped Brant off to the MTC. I miss this kid more than words can express. It was like leaving part of my heart behind when we had to walk away. But I am so proud of him. So very incredibly proud.
Saying goodbye to Parker:
Entering the MTC:
It’s Official!
We’ve had two letters and an email so far. Brant is loving his companion and his other two roommates.
And while change is hard, there are some things that remain constant. Brant is already asking for me to send him homemade cookies. They are on my counter waiting for me to package them up. 
Oh Tammy, what a good looking guy he is! You must be so proud! I love the suit. And I love the fact that he has already sent two letters and an email! That proves how close your beautiful family is! Congratulations, you should be so proud!
Love,
Amy
You must be so proud. What a handsome man.
I’m thinking maybe you deserve the brave hero award! (Okay, I am kind of reading backwards!) My last kiddo at home, my son Chance turns 18 next month and will graduate high school in the Spring. I’m afraid I will be a basket case when he moves out! My empty nest is threatening to overtake me!
In His Love and Blessings,

oh this post had me all teary eyed…
He’s so handsome – you have to be so proud! I bet Parker is missing him too, but what a wonderful young man you have raised…I pray that I can do as good a job with my 2 as you have done with your’s! God Bless
I am so pleased to see the pictures of your son going off on his mission. Your whole family is and will continue to be so blessed by this.
I keep Parker’s smiling picture hung up in the kitchen as his little face, admist all he’s been through, just shines with hope, courage, strength and love.
Happy New Year! Kitty and crew
How very proud you must be of Brant. My prayers and thoughts are with him…and that his cookies arrived safely.
The photo of Parker on Brant’s shoulder made me tear up. And I just realized how much Parker looks like Brant! (to me anyway)
Tammy!
My Friend is a blog fan of yours and told me about you! My son Andrew is your son Brant’s companion in the MTC! What a small and wonderfull world we live in!
I would love to share stories. It has been 3 weeks today that our boys went in! I miss him so much!
