Child/Stepchild
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Needed to learn more about it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
i have to let him go and live HIS life. I have since learned..patience and a "longing"that is hard to bare. I believe in him though! He has grown, and I now share my son with the Navy and our country. Also want to now add, How PROUD I am of my New Marine son!
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

Morning!

Wow! Your are such a strong lady! I hope your sons both do well! I will cross fingers and toes! Say all my prayers! Your pictures are great! You must b so proud of your boys!!! Seems like not too long ago we were just starting out!

Mine is headed out...less than a day. I think they will do the around the SA tour. He has been away from base for a few months and won't be back for a few months. This is probablythe longest we gone without seeing him. On the other hand, our family has been lucky with Bryan being stationed so close to home. It will be a nice homecoming!! Ad then the commissioning of the ship! All in all this has been an extremely wonderful experience.

How have you been feeling? I hope all is going well!
Take care!
Kimberly

Hi Linda, My son graduates from Ft. Leonardwood in July and I was planning on making the trip to see him but he said the graduation ceremony is only 30 minutes and he said he most likely would get to come home after before heading to his next duty station, do you have information you could share.

Hi!

I got your email!
I'll be home in Texas late tomorrow so I can't mail out patterns until Monday.
If you go to my n4m site the pattern is on there but the measurements may not be clear. We usually just send out paper patterns and directions.
I find it easier to make about 5 to 10 in 'assemblyline" fashion. So good to hear you are interested and thank you for writing.
hugs and prayers,
Colleen

Hey you! Not much going on here. I'm on total disability now. It's supposed to hit a 100 degrees here today or tomorrow. I'm hoping the pool is warm enough for me (80 degrees) by the weekend....he, he, he
Talked to my Sailor this morning.....his ship is in port for 3 or 4 months. Won't deploy back to the Gulf till Dec or Jan.
