We were all an emotional wreck... So proud yet so, so sad to send off one of our best friends for the next two years. The morning seemed to drag and rush by at the same time. Before we knew it we were at the Provo Temple for our final half hour together. We took some pictures.. watched other families do the same and then our time together ran out. One by one we all said our goodbyes, big long "Austin" hugs and many, many tears.
We got our emotions all under control and headed for the car.. Austin squeezed my hand the whole way. The car stopped at the curb and we all climbed out, one final hug and he was gone. We stood there and watched him walk away... He held up his hand and flashed us the "I love you sign" just before blending into the crowd of missionaries.
God be with you til we meet again little brother..
