As of last Wednesday Chase has left us for the MTC in Provo. He'll be there for 3 weeks, then off to Toronto. For two years we won't see him except through pictures. We won't hear him except through tape recorders and possibly 4 phone calls. How do so many people do this everyday, be apart from family? It feels awful. I am proud of him though and I know he is happy to go so I can be happy for him.
Luckily I got to be home with him before he left. It may sound melodramatic but the last few days felt like a countdown to the gallows for me. One of those moments where you wish you could control time.

He may be gone but he is NOT forgotten. He is setting a good example for his younger bro as his older bro did for him and your dad did for you. Of course we all know that behind every great bro there is a great big sister setting the best example....who could that be???
yep. that's how I felt with tallon and brady left. well, pretty close.
sorry you'll be missing your brother so much. i can't imagine sending a son!
