Profile Information

About me:
Momma of a Seabee, now with a Seal support team. My son, my only child has been in the Navy for 10 years. I am so proud of the man he has become. I have a beautiful daughter-in-law and two beautiful grandkids. I work for the Department of Veterans Affairs at a VA hospital and truly see up front the sacrifices our vets make for us.
I am here to support or represent my:
Child/Stepchild
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy Career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I:
Was proud and encouraged it
From my experience with the Navy, the most important thing I learned was:
You have to let your baby go and experience life without you.
Through this Navy experience, I now believe:
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

I am so glad that you heard from your son, nothing in this world can give us the same comfort as we get from hearing their voice i feel. Our pastor and church is praying too. My sister you and so many like you give me strength and help increase my faith everyday. And I know God can and will do for others what he done for me. When my doctors shook
there heads and wonder what to do because there was not a chemo drug
for me yet, that how bad my cancer was and I was in between stages of there procall that the doctors was so un such. But Patti God step in. I had one surg. in Jan and in Aug of the same year they found more, I never felt like why me God or want have I done for this to happen. God Just let me get throught it. I was told to apply for disable right away. But Thank God look at me now. There are days that I can't hardly walk or stand and the pain is always there for now. But i am waiting on God to take that away too. In the mean time he gives me the strength to take one day at a time. And I look forward to your testimonial too one day. We love you and your family and you will always be in our prays. And Patti please take some time for yourself too, that is very important.
I sent lots of hugs your way.

Yes Darnell did grad. and we are very good. Just remember is it okay to cry when ever you want to. More important get your husband someone other than you that he can let lose with and talk about what happening to him. And yes I know that it is happening to you too, but that a little differ. Second get your self someone you can talk to stranger or friend it don't matter. Let friends and family do all they can for you and your husband, it helps them cope too. From cooking to cleaning or just letting you cry anytime you need too with question. As for your son that your call, but remember he's you guys son and he may want to know. To be there for you, I did not tell Darnell until I did not have any other choice and he did not take that way. ( my waiting)
Patti the lymph node biopsy will tell all--which way to go from here. My sister after you have prayed and cryed all we can do is stand. I know you love your husbands I can hear it in your words. But whether it is me or you or your husbands we have to keep the faith and fall back on his words and never blame him for anything. Some times our trail come to make us strong we never know God's reason for what he puts us throught. I think i am a better person for going through my cancer, not that I would have chosen it to put me here at this point in my life. I think you are a very strong women and you can handle this because you have to. And keeping your faith is not that hard to do; just look around you and think of all the things he has already done for you or your family. God brought me through a dark place in my life and he can do the same for your family. Love you Debra

Dearest Patti, I pray for your husbands healing. My Dad had melanoma and is a cancer survivor. I know that God is no respecter of persons and I believe it is His Perfect Will to HEAL. I pray that HIS Presence will be BIGGER than the diagnosis, may GOD blanket You both with His PEACE and LOVE in Jesus Name, Amen.

Hey Patti my son is still at GL in A school he will graduated on Feb. 20, we will have a Corpsmen, we are think about going to his grad. I have put in for the time off from work, but I also have some new test to take for recurrent cancer that my doctor wants me to have. And if I don't take them I will have problem with my insurance. I have received my healing from God and I refuse to think any other way.
Darnell want to try for the SWCC team, he's looking into it, so I guess after dental school he do that if he gets in. He said he want to be their
med. I am having a hard time waiting to see what his orders will be.
I don't worry as much about him like I did at first, because I know that
hes' in God's hands. And God is helping me to let go a little at a time;
I use to cry a lot and i felt like we had to get all the time together that
we could before it was to late. Now those feelings are gone and I don't
cry any more. I just look for God to handle it all, his growing up without
us, and his safety. But this does not mean that I don't miss him or think
about him. Just that I can see where I have grown as a mother.
I so enjoyed hearing from you, I love talking to people.

No grands yet thank God, Darnell's too young to be a father. I hope he waits and experience more of life before settling down. The people in the pics are my sister, brothers,cousins,nieces,nephews,great nieces, great nephews and some in-laws a few are my sister foster family. We have lost some of our foster kids to good home; we still miss them dearly when they are going. If you have not notice yet we are a diversity
family and we never turn away a new family member, the more the merrier. I have 2 sisters and 5 brothers the pics only show part of them and thier families. I am glad you like my pics I had fun taken them and fun. I love your page and you can help me learn how to let go of my son
I am working hard on it. I think it would be easier if he was not my only child or my miracle baby.
