Sudden Fits of Crying

I was working at my desk today with my headphones on to eliminate distractions, gently bopping my head to the music when suddenly I started to cry.

"Any Dream Will Do" from "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" came on with Donny Osmond singing. And that reminded me of Jamie and how proud I am of his singing ability and the job he did when we produced Joseph for the Stake. And then I remembered that in 3 months he'll leave for his mission.

And that's when it started, big crocodile tears rolling down my face. The tears were a mixture of tears of joy and tears of sadness. I'm so proud of "Elder Fischer" and his motivation to serve the Lord, but at the same time, how am I supposed to go two whole years without seeing him or hearing him sing.

I didn't cry when he opened his call exactly one week ago, although he did. But I sure did today.

I guess it's true what the say; I'm sad to see him go, the only thing that would make me sadder, is if he didn't go.
