I don't think you are ever prepared enough for the day your son goes to the MTC. As mothers, we talk about this day with our children, from the time they are small. When the time finally comes, and you have planned, prepared, and scheduled every last detail, there are no words to describe what it feels like to say goodbye to your child for two years.
I have literally felt every emotion within the last 24 hours. I was happy, sad, nervous, excited, anxious, supportive, calm, and for lack of better words, a total wreck. With that said, I know Hayden is in the right place. He was ready to serve our Heavenly Father, and I have no doubt that this experience, will change him forever. I am so proud of the man he has become and his desire to leave his life, and spend the next few years serving others. I know he is going to have many wonderful experiences, and I can't wait to share his updates with our family and friends. Here are a few pictures from our day.
