about my Michael he was a handful but a heart of gold. And the Navy did
the same for him. Michael is very driven for his future and knows what he wants.
But on the other hand he wants to be home. He knows in the back of his
head that moms health may not last that long or his Nanny which is my mom.
And I totally agree with staying out of their buisness and cheering them on.
Even if you are crying and writing at the same time. And yes it is just beyond
me how parents just dump their kid off to the service and we will talk to
you when you get out but we might not have the same address. That is
what is wrong with the boys dad and why I stayed married to him for
so long. Cause he was a huge part of the boys lifes until they became
teenagers then he couldn't deal. His dad left his mom with 4 kids when
he was 2 months old and came back when he was 15 and wanted to know
who's kid he was. It has been 25 years since any communication with his
dad. And do you know almost to the day that he lost communication
with his dad he left me. It is a bit bizzar. Michael said you told me mom
when we were grown that dad would leave you and you were right.
Thank you for being so nice and special to me you are a wonderful
lady and mom too. I can tell just by writing with you. That is one
of the things I like email for you get to know a person by their words.
Not by their looks or what they have or don't have. You are very
Sincere and a blessing.
I was so excited and pumped of him coming home after his 5 years and
going to school for airnotics in Oklahoma. We he has change his mind and
sunk my ship. He wants to sign for 2 more and go to like the best Airinotical
School at Pointe Magu, Ca. He can continue to work for the Navy and go
to school on the Navy and not use his GI bill. What he would do is put in
a transfer to there. It would technically add only a year to his time from
what I can tell but he has his life planned out and having a savings and money
to play with is priority to him . I have to say I have not seen to many 21 almost
22 year old so focused on the prize. My 25 is a late bloomer but he has his
career now as a police officer now he just needs to learn how to safe money
he is always broke. He is a true man with tons of toys. He has wanted to
settle down for a long time he had dated a girl from high school up to her
1st year of college and from there it went south. She married some random
guy a couple of years ago and filed for divorce 2 weeks later. Big wedding and
all. He tried to make it work with her since and it never worked out. She is
totally screwed up and doing drugs and Ty told her drugs or him he is a
police officer and he cannot or will not be around that enviroment. So he
has been dating a really sweet girl that he has dated off and on for years
and they are a good match. Both reserved and not much to say she is
also going thru a divorce what is funny he is stationed at Coronado Island.
She sent divorce papers for him to sign 2 months ago but not gotten them
back. He doesn't want to loose his BAH so time will tell. Whats funny they
fuss with each other like they are already married. You know the story of
the name of Michael. If not I will have to tell you about it what I can remember
I will quit rambling and let you go. I just love talking to you. Thank you for
being here for the support and understanding. Maybe we will get to meet
some day.
your comment. Like I said it was just one of those things that I have to
learn to over come. Just basically after 28 years of knowing how to do
it but now doing it without him. I pretty well have disconnected myself
from him. Mainly because I have a protective order so I have been able
to start to heal and have a clear view of what the future without him
holds for me. And it is huge like I told my son don't think your going
to fix me up with anyone its time for me to live I have raised 3 boys
him, his brother and his dad. I have done my time now its my turn
to take care of me.
walk yesterday. It was really nice and the weather was a little cool.
But the sun came out and it was beautiful. Had a good turn out every
year it seems to grow.. In out town it has only been going on since 05.
I had to push myself to make it this year my husband was a huge
part of helping me raise money and getting people involved. And since
we went south it was hard my Michael got onto me and said you have
made it your cause and what would you be doing if you just dropped
it. So get on it raise some money get people together and make it
happen so I did. Well I will let you go I just wanted to drop you a
line. Take care Sincerely, Sam
to meet the ship come in. I was a awesome experience we spent 10 days
with him. Then on our way home we went to the Grand Canyon. It was
beautiful. Yeah! Life has not been a cake walk. What was sad was
after Michael deployed he was having a really hard time with it all.
He said to me crying I just thought that my mom and dad would be
together forever I just wheeped. It harder when it hurts your kids.
Several ladies know of my health and of my husband and I.
But truely it truely not something I am proud of but I sure found comfort
with this web site. My Michael just wants to be home too. I will take
any prayer that I can get. Thank for caring it means alot to me. Take
care. Sincerely Shari (Sam)
recognize the name but he was going to look him up. It funny you say he
is ready to come home. Well my Michael has been struggling really hard
to sign for 2 more year or not. Well he said this morning that he has made
his made up his mine. He isn't going to resign he is going to come home
and go to Spartian's School of Aironotics. Which is in Tulsa about 30
minutes from Muskogee which is our home. So I am really happy he loves
being out on the sea. But he has had a life plan for a long time. He said
he would never marry while he was in the military because he wanted to
be home with his wife and kids and could never imagine missing anything
that his kids would do for the 1st time. He gets that from us always being
a very close family and our kids were always first. Now our kids are grown
and after 28 years of marriage my husband left me for a 24 year old girl
with a 3 year old child. Marriage was good for along time. Other than the
normal ups and downs. Michael said mom you told me when we weren't
home anymore dad would leave you. My disease of MS , Lupis and COPD
in a little more than 5 years has gone on a tale spin down hill. I think it
just got to be more than he could handle. I just never thought aftet taking
such good care of me that he had made it past that hump and he hadn''t.
Sorry I am sure you wonder why I am telling you this I am doing really
well with it start when mike was home before deployment so he had to
take it to sea with him. But after 6weeks with my head in the trash can
I came out on top feel like million bucks and don't even miss him. So will
be divorced sometime hopefully before the 1st of the year.
emails me around 4 or 5 when things slow down. My Mike may have gotten
moved to days too who knows, He said he was going to stay on nights as
long as they would let him. But I will let you know when I hear from Michael.
How long has your son been on the Nimitz and how long has he been in
the Navy?
info to see if he knows your son. I like it that Michael works nights
cause it is daytime for us and I don't get woke up in the middle of the
night with a phone call. And sometimes I actually catch him on the
computer and we write back and fourth together. I let you know what he says.
engines and whatever else fits his fancy. Like last week he repaired the
door to their lounge it was a half door and made it a whole door not sure
what he did but he said all the guys love it. He is a jack of all trade and he
is a true Master of all of them. No job to large for him he loves working.
