Hi Darci, haven't talked to you in a while. Hope you're doing OK since your Dad passed away. Hard times, I know. Greg and Jill drove 850 miles to come home for Thanksgiving. They were only here for 2½ days and we didn't see much of them, so many people wanted to visit with them, invite them to lunch and brunch and dinner etc. But we did have them all day on Turkey Day. Our daughter and family came too so we had a nice houseful.
Greg's off on carrier training right now, on the USS Stennis for a week. Jill says she thinks he went to Hawaii. He gets home tomorrow (Sunday) and then Friday they fly off to Wisconsin to spend Xmas with her family.
Oh, and he made PO 2 ! He was really surprised as he hadn't studues for the test. He thought he's take it for real in 6 months and just took it to see what it was like, and he passed!
Have a merry Xmas and I'll probably talk to you next year!
I'm sitting here with a heavy heart with trying not to cry in front of Ash he told me that he will ask for Japan that there is no east coast and he dosn't want San Diego and I don't waqnt for him to see me heart broken so I'm trying to suck it up I had only been home after a 7 hour drive with my mother from Sacramento just her and me she had to go to a funeral of my brothers wifes mother who died she wouldn't fly so I had to drive in the rain and of couse
Victor would not go just wait untill he needs me to do something pay back will be a bitch
How are you doing? Has Marke gotten his orders? write soon Sandra
My mother lost my step-dad two years ago and now if I don't answer my phone I get what if I broke my leg and I tell her will did you and I have her at the house 4 days a week and now it's you need to wear my kind of make-up and you should go to my hair dresser and all I can say is I know where you are comming from and where you will be going too and their has been many times I thought Vic would leave me over her and Ash.
Ash just left for San Diego he was home for the week-end it's just as hard every time he leaves, he's flying again I think he got 3 or 4 more two go and he done God I hope he gets San Diego My cell number is 909 266-6942 call when you want to talk hang in there Sandra
Darci
I'm so sorry to hear about your dad and no one can walk in your shoes for now you know that you spent as much time with him as you could and he was blessed to have you as a daughter, how are your kid doing? They just don't understand this part of life, and it is so great to hear from you !
Ash is doing great he is almost done and will be getting his orders soon, gee I can't wait lol he comes home almost every week end I thought maybe he wouldn't get to for Thanks giving cause some of the kids got in big trouble last week and we went down to see him but he could leave the base so we did stay , he said what he is learning is hard but he is doing ok.
How is Marke doing he should be almost done same as ash Hey if you need someone just to talk to call me any time I will send you my cell just ask I'm here when you need to talk, please take care have Marke call ash he would love to talk to him
Darci I am so very sorry to hear about your dad but just remember this, when someone we love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Darci don't ever lose that treasure that you had with your father. I know you said that Marke came home and I hope that he got to spend lots of time with his grandfather and I know how proud your father must be of Marke and now he has an angel watching over him at all times to keep him safe. Darci my heart and prayers go out to you and your family and if there is anything I can do for you, please let me know I am not far away.
Oh Darci, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. When you have a parent with a long-term terminal illness you prepare yourself for their death, at least you think you do, but you're never really prepared when it actually happens. It's expected, but still a shock. I'm glad Marke got to be home if only for a little while. It seems worse when things happen around holiday time and I don't blame you for wanting to just curl up in a ball somewhere and wish the world would go away. Been there and done that. It hurts.
Hey Darci, how are things going? You must be run off your feet with everything going on at home, and now the holidays coming up. Greg and Jill will be home for Thanksgiving. They have to drive almost 2,000 miles round trip for just a 3-day stay but Greg hasn't seen his dad in almost a year, since before Nick was diagnosed and he feels he needs to be here. He finally got his orders for squadron 12 and will be off in 2 weeks for a week's carrier training. So it looks as though he'll end up on a carrier when he finally gets deployed. I hope Marke is doing well, I'm sure he is. If I don't get around to writing again for a while, I hope you have a good Thanksgiving, well, as good as you can. We'll have a house full as Greg's sister and her family will be here too. It'll be giant turkey time.
Oh Darci my heart goes out to you and your family. In times like this there is nothing I can say but just know that if there is anything that you need, please let me know and I will help out in any way that I can. I will keep you, your dad and family in my prayers. You take care of yourself and touch back when you can.
Hey Darci, it has been awhile since I have talked to you but I did want you to know that there is another New York site, UPSTATE NY/NY STATE MOMS. On this site we are talking about getting together, just wanted to let you know so if you wanted to come along.
Hi Darci,
Sorry to hear about your dad, I know how hard it gets towards the end. My hubby is still hanging in there, he had his regular physical last week and everything seemed OK except his PSA test for prostate cancer was very high so the doc. wants to test him very 6 months. Then he sees the oncologist Dec. It would be ironic if he has prostate cancer as well as the myeloma. I mean, what else can go wrong! I, on the other hand, seem to be quite healthy, which is a good thing, because when the doc asked if Nick had any long term care arrangements I said "Yes, it's me."
Greg is still waiting for official orders. He's told that he'll be assigned to a certain squadron at SD but as we all know, if it aint in writing it doesn't count. He can't put in for the rest of his bonus until the orders are cut. I tell him "you're in a great place, you go surfing almost every day, you have a wife and a nice apartment and lots of friends.......be happy!"
Hi Darci,How is your dad doing? Sorry I haven't been on for a while but life in the fall is super hectic for me. Mike got released form the Navy last week and is now home. So Making Dr. Appt's to find out about the cyst and I guess there are some dead brain cells in the front of his brain. Probably trama based (snowmobiles and 4 wheels) So will know more later. But really need all the tests released from the Navy and that isn't so easy to get. Soyou are in my prayers and thanks Martha
Darci, it's me again. If you go to my page and scroll down to my photos, I've posted some from the FRAC graduation. Greg's 2nd from the left in most of them and that's Jill pinning on his wings (at least that's her back view).
Hey Darci, Greg finally graduated FRAC yesterday. They changed the date on him so many times we were beginning to think it would never happen. When he had his first flight he was so excited he said he couldn't believe the Navy actually paid him to have so much fun! Also, I made a mistake about his deployment date, he thinks it won't be for over a year. I thought spring of 2010 but he said more likely 2011 BUT, you know the Navy, anything can change, and probably will!
I'm so sorry to hear about our dad, I'm glad to see that you are able to be with him it well help him, and your kids will make it they don't rember half the crap that goes on.
How funny Ash flew for the first time on Thur how wiered of that and he didn't call untill he was done he said it was the greatest ride, how fun for the kids. Ash was on cloud 9 all day. Now he wants to go to the east coast so he can go to eur, You know how well that went with me oh well I have to surport him I know it will kill me.
I have been working alot trying to keep the doors open, Vic willn't get out of his chair much and that dosn't help much he wants me to close the doors and I will not do it untill I can't make it work. so he will not help me at all.
Ash has a girl friend and will be here on the 14 of oct and she will live with us for afew months untill he finds out where he will go.
Trying to get readly for Vic birthday party on the 30 the big 50 with the band and about 200 people wish you could be here just to give you something else to think about and have a glass of wine with me.
Everyone is telling me to get up and get dressed to go to breakfast to write when you can take care of yourself too you are in my prays Tell Marke Ash said Hi and for him to call him. Ash saw this message. Sandra
Hi Darci, well the good news is that Greg's PSD is San Diego so he and Jill can expect to be there for 3 years. He was hoping to get an expeditionary squadron but they put him in a cargo squadron which means carrier duty, starting early 2010. Personally I think it sounds very exciting and I told him he should be happy he'll at least be based in San Diego....he could have got Guam!
So sorry to hear about your dad. I know it must be hard for Marke being so far away and not being able to do anything about it. I know what I went through with my own father, he had kidney failure and was on dialysis for 5 years before he decided he'd had enough and quit the dialysis. He died 3 weeks later but it was on his own terms. I was always thankful for that.
Darci, Greg passed all his tests with flying colors. I'm SO relieved! But I wanted to pass this on to you so you could pass it on to Marke. He needs to (obviously) study everything before his tests but when it come to it, just trust his instincts. Greg was very nervous about his final test but once he realized he knew everything, all he had to do was to go on automatic pilot, so to speak. He was over-thinking and over-analyzing everything but once he trusted his own judgement he did fantastic.
Hi Darci, I'm so sorry for all your having to go thru. Im keeping you and your family in my prayers...and please don't worry about having to leave me a comment. Drew is doing really good and only 3 weeks left to PIR. Take care and we all are here for you. Lisa
Darci, How are you doing? I am so sorry that things are not going so well. I was looking at Sage's page and seen your name. Sorry I have not written in a long time. As with everyone, we have been very busy and time seems to being going by so fast. Just wanted to drop you a line and say Hi. If there is anything I can do or help with, please let me know. Julie
