This is the division and ship my awesome SR is attached to. Just found his phone card in our copier. He copied it for me so I could add minutes. Thank goodness we haven't gotten close to the time where we could possibly get a phone call. Sure would love a letter.

What have all of you moms done to deal with your SRs being gone. Thought I was going to melt into a puddle of tears. Then I decided to teach myself something new. So I taught myself how to crochet. I am a jewelry designer by trade, but couldn't even sit down and work at my usual because sitting there just reminded me of my SR. So for the last week and a half I have changed my schedule around and sat and crocheted. Because my brain had to do something different I found that I distracted myself. Now I am feeling more at ease. So if you are still having a rough time try to teach yourself something new. You will be proud of your SR and yourself!

Are you going to school? Good for you. I used to do cross stitch, It just seemed to take to long to finish a project. I know how hard it is to let your man go, but realize that this is for the both of you. My son also left his girlfriend behind. She is getting ready to start back to school. It will be over before you know it. Be proud of your man. Be proud to be the girlfriend of such a wonderful guy.

My son is in div. 074, ship 14---- nice to meet you all! It's the end of week two, still incredibly hard for me! Okay during the work week but weekends just stink!

I know. Try changing up what you are doing. Find something to work on that is totally different. I found that teaching myself something completely new helped a lot. I taught myself how to crochet. I worked on a stuffed snowman for my son's girlfriend. I made it into a Navy snowman and I had to concentrate on it and not that my son isn't here. I also changed up my christmas tree. I did it totally in red white and blue so I had to put my brain in a different mode. Fortunately our SRs are focusing on completely different things, not so easy for the families waiting at home. Do something for yourself, you will be better for it and your son will be proud of you for the way you were able to handle the separation so well. I'm with ya. I hope we can all meet each other at the PIR. Love to all the families of our SRs.

My son is Ship 14 Div 74. Just got a call from him today...SO SURPRISED! Said he got permission because he was named "Master-At-Arms"?!? Not exactly sure what that means, but it seems like he's doing pretty well... He sounds wonderful and terrible....he has an awful cold...but said he's good.....the call only lasted 2 1/2 minutes, but it made me & his father so happy!
