It was real nice to of finally met you, and glad you had a full w/end with your sailor. It was enjoyable seeing Brant for a moment or two but we held tight for the time we had. We went to the airport on Saturday just around 8am sat with him until his flight left at 3:00pm we left for home on Sunday afternoon, great flight but came home to the Rain....It is GREAT! that Brant has his phone we text and talk everyday.....
Take Care and God Bless you and your family everyday!
Sorry for the late response, but I wasn't able to ship 02/16 because I was very ill. I was crushed & had been down for awhile. I didn't even want to talk to anyone because I was so upset. Now my spirits are back up again & I'm now looking forward to leaving. So I'm still here. I thank you for the kind words. I will keep you posted on when I'm leaving again.
Thank you, it was nice to learn about your sailor, and I will look into the hotel you booked, a friend of mine her sons are in the Nuke program and both times she stayed at the Ramada and what she liked about that is that they had a meet and greet for the parents the night before....You know what airport is close? - talk to you later - Take Care
My Son (Brant), was/is dating a young lady for the last 3 years (give or take) he graduated school mid semester, he was tired of school and wanted so badly to go into the Navy. He was an Honor student, so he has some brains...LOL He tends to act goofy when things get tense, dosent want any one to cling to fear. So I hope that is what he is doing making things easy for himself as well as others. he is outgoing and when he puts his mind to it he will get it done. He loves comedians (Jeff Dunham-the pupet man) and music - was into rock, who knows now. What I miss the most is his warmth and layers of skin he left around the house (his clothes), Have a good day - Take Care, Be Strong, I am proud of James.
talk to you later
Im so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
