Dixie’s Heart and Soul

A for­mer win­ner nom­i­nated today’s win­ning post at The Ris­ing Blog­ger. He says of his nom­i­na­tion of the author Dix­iechick, “Please con­sider this post by my friend Dixie about her son, who is about to grad­u­ate from Marine Corps boot camp. She pours all a mother’s pride and fear and emo­tion into some of the most won­der­ful words I’ve ever read.” We can­not add much to that, but what we appre­ci­ated the most in the blog Dixie’s Heart and Soul was the can­dor this mother of a son about to grad­u­ate from the Marine boot camp. She doesn’t shy away from her ini­tial reac­tion that maybe the mil­i­tary was not the right place for her son Matt. She speaks of Matt’s other options. In the post from Octo­ber 16, 2007 Just a Few of My Thoughts she states, “Dur­ing these 13 weeks, I also have gone through a trans­for­ma­tion, even if it was invol­un­tary. I have learned I do not have con­trol over all my son chooses in life. I have learned that I will have to step back and let him soar. I have learned I can hide my fear well, and that there is no end to the pride I can feel. I have learned that the future is God’s, and though I may not always under­stand it, I accept it.” Con­grat­u­la­tions Dix­iechick! You have writ­ten our Post of the Day!
