Hello again Paige's Mom. I am glad you were able to connect with your daughter. I am sure she will see things she never has. She will also appreciate them. You will also begin to see a huge "grown up" change in your daughter. I know I started seeing huge changes during my son's first deployment. Now he is no longer a kid. He has developed into a responsible young man.
Thanks for the heads up on the mail. I hope he gets the boxes I have sent to cheer him up. He really needs it. I have been in touch with a couple of his friends on the ship and they also are "fed" up. This will pass. I am glad they have each other to look after themselves. I don't know if Tim knows Paige. I will ask. Have a great day!
Hello Paige's mom,
Sorry I have not participated. I will try to do better. I am glad you are going to be able to see Paige. that's Awesome. I have talked to my son almost everyday via facebook. Right now he is extremely frustrated. He has only been able to get off the ship for 4 hours when they were in Hawaii. He has been able to get off t any other port. I have not seen him so negative before. I try to encourage him however I don't think I was successful. I have sent two boxes to him however he has not received them yet. Probably soon. . I hope your conversation was good with Paige. I am sure you had a big smile :-)
this group is not to chatty! where is everyone??? talking to paige tonite and doing facetime with her so i actually get to see her face, shes in port, having fun!! cant wait to see her face tonite!
Great Idea Adams Mom..... I didn't think of that!. The last time they were in this third world country my son was brought to reality of what poor really is. He told me he would never take for granted what he has especially seeing how people lived and how appreciative the children were when they were given the smallest things that don't mean anything to you and I. Thanks for the update!
Glad to hear Paige is feeling better. Prayers do help!
I sent a care package to paige over 3 weeks ago, priority mail, the mail drop was on sat or sun and her package was not in it. she said only about 2 people in her divison got mail. so at the end of the week im sending out her care package for thanksgiving, some of the things she asked for was powered gatarode, i guess everyone one the ship uses it. She wanted gum, tick tacs, fruit roll ups energy bars,gummy bears movies pens pencils high lighters, because shes taking classes, cheea its, wheat thins, tide pods, for washing clothes. i sent her her own pillow,,im making her rice crispy treats and brownies, i bought a sealing machine, (not cheap) she has a calling card she brought with her. i purchased her another one SO SHE CAN CALL HER MOTHER!! I two am constantly searching for unique ideas, i use the flat rate boxes, when i can, the last box i sent her was in a regular box because there was so many items, and it cost me 55.00 more for the postage than the contents, that figures, great idea onthe newspaper clippings,
thanks for asking navy mom 120, paige is still pretty sick, a friend of hers emailed me this morning, shes got a fever, chills, shes been vomiting, I understand she is not working, to weak to do so. she is getting treatment from medical. this is driving me crazy, i dont ever remember paige getting anything near this. it really makes me feel helpless! anyway everyone thanks for the weel wishes!
