Thanks everyone, for the kind comments left about Jake leaving.  I'm still sad about it, but not as devastated as I thought I would be.  I just wish he wasn't so far away.  I am resiting the urge to call, text, email and facebook  him a million times a day.  His 19th birthday was on Mother's day this year.  So my day was ok, not spectacular. I just wanted to get it over with.  He texted, but didn't call.
