My son just graduated BC on 11/20/09. It was so wonderful to see him. He told me about N4M at graduation so here I am. I wish that I would have had this site while he was in BC. I am glad to be here with people that are dealing with the same feelings that I have. Again thanks!

I will keep the Hand Family in my prayers as well. I finally had the opportunity to talk to my Sailor in Japan. He called at 3am yesterday morning, it would have been 5pm or so in Japan. He said that he is doing good, he is just not all that crazy about ship life. I told him he has only been there for a couple of weeks and that he has to give it a chance. I reminded him that he is there for a job and not on vacation. I also reminded him that our family is so proud of the choice he decided to make. I would like to say a thank you to you all. And that my wish for you is to have a safe and love filled holiday season.

The family lives in Kans city Mo. He had only been there a little over a month. I think he got there Oct 17th.

Hi everyone, Melissa here in Springfield, Missouri. The weather is really nice and we are hoping for it to stay nice for the Holiday. We are going out of town Friday to take the kids south but they are so looking forward to it. These are the kids that my husband and I got permanent Legal Guardianship of this last May. They are all doing real good in school. The oldest boy is possibly going to go to Middle College this next year. In that program that was started last year, he will not only receive his High School Diploma but he will hopefully receive his Associate Degree from a Junior College here in Springfield. Hope everyone is going to have a great Holiday. Hopefully my son will call me. I know that he has to work on Thanksgiving so he is not able to come home. Right now he is stationed in Nebraska. He is still trying to recuperate from a knee injury that he sustained while working out on base. He had surgery back in August so hopefully it won't be to much longer. He has not been able to work out so he has gained a little bit of weight and the Commander is not real happy about that. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
