Paula did you have to go throught the Red Cross to get your son home?

Comment by Debbie (Stephen's mom) on August 31, 2011 at 1:54pm

I am so sorry Paul2, my prays and thoughts are with you and your son.  Lose is never ez.  My friend just lost her husband last Friday,  Had the flu and the same day gone 52, he just became a grandfather.  He has 3 children one in the Army but he made it home the wake is tomorrow and funeral is Friday, not a good week at all.

Thanks you guys.... I did hear from the Navy yesterday that the docks were fixed and he would be in today. They also said they did call him in to the "office" and talked with him a while and explained his emergency leave to him. The thing that bothers me is that he is not answering any of my messages I think he just is afraid to talk about it but I need to know what his leave is so I can get him a plane ticket. Hopefully he will call me when he docks.. I am not going with him because I will not be a welcome sight. My ex was abusive to me not the kids and he was arrested and convicted for domestic violence so they have never understood why I had to finally call 911 after 14 yrs of being pushed around. He was a good man was nice to everyone but when he was stressed he would loose his temper fast and on me. I know I sound crazy because I said I still cared for him but that is one of my flaws I tend to love people more than hate, I forgive easy and remember the good in a person and forget the bad. This is so painful. But thank you all for listening. Paula2

Paula-My heartfelt condolences to you and your son.  I pray that the Navy gets him home soon so he can be with family and friends at this difficult time.

Oh Paula, I am so sorry. Praying your sailor can come home ASAP. Being around family who will give him love and support will help.

Hi all, My ex husband died in his sleep Saturday of heart diseas at age 47. I am surprised how difficult this was on me, it broke my heart. My son was underway due to the storm then they were not sure when they would be back because of damage to the dock. I did not want to tell him when he was out to sea but I had called the Ombudsman to ask when they would be back and if they could give him a chance to call me as soon as they are in and because I told her why she said she was obligated by the rules of the Navy to contact the ship and have them tell Drew right away. OMG he was writing the saddest things on Facebook blaming himself for not coming home this summer and not calling emough saying he was the worst F*** son ever. I have been crying since Sunday finaly took a valium today and slept a few hours. All I want to do is get him on a plane in time for the viwing and funeral and so he can spend time with his dad's family in Ohio and he has not given me the final yes that he got leave yet. I called the ombudssman again today and she contacted the ship about leave. They told me they were going to talk to him and explain his options for emergency leave but he has not emailed e yet. I just got an email from the ombudsman though and she said his ship is coming in on Wenesday at 330 instead of thursday so that is good one more day and I can call him.

 

His dad was so proud of him for joining the Navy and now Drew hates himself for doing it because he has been away instead of being home with his dad. The problem is his dad never told us the doctors told him he was not going to live much longer because he wanted Drew to be happy and not live with the worry when it was going to happen. Drew's grandma knew and would call Jerry every morning to be sure he was alive what a way to live but if she would have told me being the ex wife or not I could have helped him more but hinesite sucks.... I just want to get him to Ohio so he can be with his family and start healing.

 

I have been telling everyone I care about that I love them, I am going to try and spend more time with my family and friends. I just can not beleive he is gone so young if I knew he was going to die soon there are so many things I would have told him, one of which is that I still had love in my heart for him some thing he has wanted me to say since I left him....... I love you all Paula2

Hi, how is everyone doing?  Mary you are goingto visit Dan, that is so wonderful,I am so excited for you.  And Jason is coming home YEA!  Boy I am jealous, but really happy for you ladies.  Hi Beth and welcome to our group. 

Well Stephen is trying for a new job in Spain but so far nothing has been said, he thought since he could not come state side maybe they would move him there.  He would have to go to P-Cola for more schooling and then go to Spain.  Everyones leave has been cancel, they have been on high alert but not they are on stand down and he does not know how long that will take.  Oh well, he will be taking the test in Sept., for the E5, so everyone keep your fingers crossed and pray for him.  Take care and talk to you soon.
