GoldnG8r, good luck getting that smile.  What is it with young men?  They get their picture taken to commemorate a great achievement and the photo makes them look like they break legs for a living!

Karla, my daughter is a senior in high school and has already been accepted to her first choice college.  When she found out a couple weeks ago, I cried for two days every time she mentioned it and we still have a year.  I think I will enroll and go with her. LOL.

  I need to thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for your words of support and encouragement.  We are all doing better than expected.  My father in law was a small man anyway but last week, he weighed in at 99 lbs. fully dressed. That included sneakers.  He was diagnosed with lung cancer a couple months back but never had issues with that.  I think his big, generous heart just got tired of beating. He wanted some chile to eat that day, but did not have the strength to lift the spoon and would not accept any help.  Then, he asked for a beer. Within two hours he was able to drink two beers in bottles on his own. Kinda funny how the body and mind work. 

  After all of these days and hardly no contact with R, he texted me today!!!  He actually sounded like notheing had happened. He says he is fine.  Never has been one to elaborate too much or share his feelings. So, I am feeling much better now myself.  

  And "YES" he is coming home over Labor Day!

  Again, thanks ladies. You are all awesome.

  Angie, If I had only known that leave was not granted when all of this took place, what a difference it would have made.  The only thing he said in regards to coming home was that he couldn't come down here.  Not knowing if it was his choice or the Navy's.  It's all good now.  Thank you!

Helen, they might also be called "Dry Foot socks"...or "Health sock"...or "Elder socks"

Helen...I think those socks are called "sanitary boot socks." Supposedly, the keep the feet from sweating like they normally would in an all black sock. I see if I can find where to buy them and post back.

R, I am sorry for your loss. I hope your son will go talk to a Chaplain. I think he is very distraught at the moment and needs someone to talk to. Anyone would be after the death of a friend. It was probably a shock to him.

I will keep him in my prayers.
