hm - must be something in the air all across the USA!! SEVERAL moms that I have "chatted" with in the past few days seem to be missing their sons more lately!! I am not sure (but I bet it is) all the things that are happening around the globe - both here and abroad that involve our boys and their shipmates!!

Please, just keep ALL our military (and their moms) in your prayers!!!

actually brenda sue, i just think i have noT gotten used to him being gone. not in my house. it is not easy to take when your son all of a sudden does not need you like he used to. which is what i wanted for him to stand tall on his own two feet and be proud. as i am,so proud. as for whats going on over seas, there is always worry, not just for my son, i know he is safe, but for other troops serving our country. when you are a mom the worry never goes away.
GOD BLESS AND WATCH OVER OUR TROOPS

Hi Lisa I'm Bev. It's hard when they are gone. We haven't seen our Son since Christmas. It's not easy but keep the faith and you will be ok. Take care. We are in this together.

Lisa.

I have had my Navy son in the Navy for 6 years, and a son in the Army for 3 years. I never get them on all the holidays and i can't seem to get them both home on any holiday together. But I know exactly how you feel. God Bless you. All of them here and abroad will have a time for the 4th of July. Just thank God they are safe.

Hello Proudmom
You are so lucky, I am so happy that you will get to see yor son. I am sure everyday seems like a longest day ever. that is how i felt when he was going to graduate in may. But in the end he ended up graduating a week later. and we did not get to see him. and yes everyday something will remind me of him and i am crying.
MAY OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN, FAMILIES HAVE A GREAT 4TH OF JULY!!!!!

Let me tell you, this Independence Day will definitely have a new meaning. I dont know how you do it. I am having a hard time with one in the service. You have two. This is a very, letting my son grow. Always have had him home for the holidays. He will be in A-school for 10 months and he just started school. So we will see what happens for the holidays.

Dear heart, if you are tired of crying, find something else to do ... three months is far too long.

Aren't we warm and fuzzy. Yes I agree with the two of you however it is hard when they first leave. Lisa as time goes by you will see your son isn't your little boy anymore, he is a grown man and a very brave one at that. Honey hold your head up high and be proud of him for what he is doing and be proud of yourself for the fine Son you raised. Have a Great Fourth and be proud!

Beverly, I don't know why you need to be sarcastic, it truly is good advice. When a person is down and depressed, one proven thing is to go out and go through the motions of what happy and active people do. The mind will follow the body's actions and mood improves. Of course she misses her son, but she can make her life better, so she can rejoice more fully in his adulthood.
