- My son is headed to West Point as a Cadet Candidate, and he will have no phone access for six weeks.
- I know he won't put much thought into letters home, but I will continue to write to him.
- I understand that this is a change in our relationship, and it is the best thing for him.
My son is about to embark on a journey that will dramatically change our relationship, and I am trying to be OK with it.
