Paces, I believe you are correct so I will not enforce Avia to let us go to the gate. I know we could but she was telling me different. I think this could be beter for all of us. Betty, my husband and I cannot attend the CNN Meet and Greet because that night my husband and I are going to Phillips Arena for a concert. So I don't think he wants to be out and about all day til late at night. I have assignmets to do every week plus Avia just left that week. It will be too emotional for me. Sorry next time well see. I know there's another one on July 21 for sure we are going there. :-)

Gee, I wish I could attend the CNN event, but it's my M-in-L's 90th B'day that weekend & we will be In Florida. It sounds like it will be great.

It will only my husband and I. I agree with Susan, lets find out how many kids before we make a change.
Chinadoll...Ours did not want us to accompany him either. Even when he was able to come home for a few days at New Year's, he did not want us to go to the airport gate with him to wait on his flight back to GL. I think for ours it was too emotional for him. He didn't want us to see him cry. It will get better, I promise.

Let's find out if anyone wants to bring their kids first, before we think about a change. For me, it will only be my husband & myself.

Susan, Avia doesn't want us to go with her at the hotel I think. Maybe she thinks that she is a big girl now and not wanting to see me looking sad. She said lets see Tuesday if I can come. I know you guys will be there for me. :-)So Tuesday lunch at Cheese Cake Factory and from there well drive to the Navy Office. Well try to talk to her recruiter and see what we can do and of course well talk to her too.

katlanta what do you thing about Marietta Diner, they have a family friendly enviroment. I would hate to make any feel uncomfortable if they wanted to bring kids. Just a suggestion, what do you think?

When both our boys went to BC, we drove them to the hotel the night before, stayed with them in the lobby for about an hour, then left. It is very emotional for a while, until you start making plans for the graduation, then you start becoming excited that you will see & hug them soon!!! That time will be there before you realize it.
I am very "excited" about the meet & greet. Count me in, I'm 90% sure I can make it. Is this just a "mother" meet or a spouse/family meet?

Hi Paces, thank for the comment. I hope everything will get better. I feeling sad already but I know I will be fine. - china

chinadoll.... You will be fine. It will be hard in the beginning, but when you get to talk with her it will get better. The hardest part for me was knowing that I couldn't pick up the phone and talk to him when I wanted. Write when she sends you the address, but don't send any cutesy stuff. If the girls are like the boys were, anything that was sentimental or cutesy, they were really given a hard time. Will keep you in our prayers. Susan

Hey Everyone,
I work nights so I haven't been online lately. My son leaves July 2nd but has to go July 1st to Meps. Of coarse I work every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 6pm to 6am so I won't be able to come to the get together but know that I'm always here for anyone who needs to talk or vent or cry. Hope I can make it to the next get together. Keeping good thoughts for ALL of our kids.
