Brian's last day at home before leaving
for the Army
Long Beach Island, New Jersey
August 2002
|

Colin and Brian have a moment of quality time on Brian's last
morning as a civilian. |

On the way to his farewell lunch, Brian shares the back seat... |

...with Cecilia... |

...and Colin, who will soon be the only son at home. |

Lunch has a serious tone... |

...as Shorty gives Brian some pointers. |

Back at the house, it's time for group photos even Bucket
looks melancholy. |

Okay, let's all try to smile... |

...c'mon, Bucket, it'll be okay! |

It's not easy to release a son into the world. |

Colin, Shorty, and Brian share a manly bonding ritual. Ahhhhh! |

Today, the family. Tomorrow, brave new world! |
