I just returned to Illinois after a three week trip to visit family in Tucson. While we were there, our son took leave and drove first to Azle, then to Tucson. There's a "friend" in Azle he went to visit. I'm waiting for them to tell me they're more than friends after almost five years! She's a sweet Texas girl. He also adopted TEX from Dallas! I told him I'm buying him a coat, and my sailor made me promise I'd buy a manly coat that wouldn't damage Tex's self-esteem!

Kim, I was just in Wal-Mart getting my Fleet Week, New York pictures developed and the as I was looking at them - the cashier said - "I wanted to talk to you."

Her son is also on the USS Bataan!!! She is going to join this website soon - look for her - her name is Pauline!

WOOHOO! Found a keyboard for $5 that works better than original! Laura, my feelings are with you! It is hard to go thru the transition phase of your Sailor! My son and I didn't have a choice...he was in Hawaii and the finances on both our parts were to where we couldn't see each other. And he is my "Baby"! The hardest part that still haunts me is missing his first deployment and return to home port ceremonies. I have not seen him on holidays for the past 5 yrs. But, and yeah know there is always a BUT...we are closer than ever. You will always be in your Sailors heart, soul and mind....he just has to learn to be apart so that they can cope. Wait until he does come home...there will be times when you can watch him sleep in between partying with his school buds. It's all good though....not just Sailor learns to cope but so does the family. You'll really learn the meaning of quality time. Be stronge ALL NAVY MOMS as we are now really and truly NAVY MOMS! :) Everyone I hope you have a great 4th of July!

Hello Everyone, I am new to this site, as my son is very New to the Navy. He is currently stationed out of Norfolk, Va and is deployed on the USS Bataan. He is a DCFN, and I am totally clueless about anything else so far LOL. I miss him very much, and I only get to hear from him from emails, but he was able to call his Dad for Father's day. I was very happy to see there was a Texas Moms group! I hope to get to know you all, and learn more about knowing what is going on with my son. Thanks.

Makes me wonder how many Navy moms in the Texas Group have sailors in San Diego when I met so many people who say, "I'm from Texas!" Its like a connection you can't have anywhere else. You know they miss home, even though the weather here is enjoyable. 12 graduated today, including my son and the sailors parents, wives and girlfriends enjoyed each others companies and shared so much in common, we are getting together tomorrow night for dinner. Just wanted to say hello and that my sailor looks sooooo good to me.

Hi everyone, I was talking to Betty G. and she wanted you all to know that her dog ate the computer cable line so she has been off for a few days, she is fine and hopes she can come back on line shortly.

Hope you all have a fun Forth!
Lady bug I will pray for your son and add him to my bible group's prayer book.
Brenda I will see If I can help on July 11, I'm not sure yet but I would love to help out.

Laura..I am trying to find the right words to respond to what you said. I too know what it is like to just 'know' what is going on and that I need to pray. I also don't know what exactly it is, but I know he needs me to pray. He got a leave and spent it with friends instead of coming home. It was so hard on me...and his baby sister. But in my heart I knew he was doing what HE needed to do. He needed to do the 'guy thing' and go 'sit' on a rock somewhere (in his case it was a golf course LOL). I know that the time will come when he will need a different 'rock' , which is his family and we will be here waiting with open arms. Until then, I will wear the necklace that reminds me of him and reminds me to pray when it flops in my face when I bend over or when someone notices the blue star on it or ...you get the idea. Hugs.....
