HI
At times when I miss my sons - I hug an old stuff toy of theirs. It helps and eating chocloate too :) Sending you a Big Cyber Hug
Maybe when you send him his things - pack some small surprizes for him. I have done that for my son and he gets a kick out of finding the items ( pocket games - candy - post cards , etc) Then you are sending a part of you along.
Yes, heard from Sailor. He is busy with ship stuff. No details he shared - just bored.
But one thing nice - his weather is better than ours. It is at least Spring weather there. So he likes that - he can put the long johns away.
Angie - do hope you are liking living in IL better. At least Spring will be here soon. It is suppose to be in the upper 50's next week. You can open the windows for some fresh air :)
Take care friend - give yourself a Me Day and do something special
Is anyone out there?
Everyone ok?
HI All made it back.
I would have loved to have met you . I am sorry - I forgot to pack this computer ! it didn't even occur to me - some of the Navy Moms are down there. Forgive me Michele.
But honest - so much was going on - I could not get away. Every minute was planed - I mean planned ! We were on the main strip of road- Hampton Inn.
Hopefully the next time I get to come down will be on pleasent means and I can get away for a meet :)

Laura and Kathie - this site has beautiful ladies that give the best advice :)
T-Lynn,
I judge no one. I was raised in an Italian-Catholic family & that is alll I knew most of my life. I don't know the specifics of other religious practices/faiths but I certainly don't fear what I don't know. How a person lives their life means more to me than where they go to worship.
When I am emotially drained and feel like I can't face the world, I appreciate the help, guidance and support of others. I don't quiz them about their faith before I accept their help. I am just glad that someone is there to lend a supportive hand.
Stay here. I will be heading into an emotional turmoil when my oldest leaves for boot in a few months. My hubby is an Army man so the service doesn't scare me. The thought of my baby leaving is what scares me. I am going to need all the help that I can get.
