Prayer Needs
Feel free to post your prayer needs/prayer requests or maybe just leave a note that you are praying.
I have to keep reminding myself that God loves my son even more than I do (seems impossible), and that even though I can't be there with him in BC I know the Lord is with him, and all of our loved ones.
Blessings!

Thank you for starting this prayer page...
I pray that my daughter has the faith in herself to know that she can achieve great things at all times and that she has a strength behind her. Don't ever let her give up, give her the confidence to succeed until the end. -

That pic was mailed off to Katlyn in today's letter :) Ty for sharing that! I just want to ask that we pray for all the mom's who are having a difficult time right now. Some are seeing others getting letters and they are still waiting...has to be disheartening. So I pray that their spirits are lifted and they are blessed.

Praying for you and your husband today! Praying for restoration in these family relationships and that there is a true understanding of unconditional love.

NavyWife....this is just my opinion, but maybe you shouldn't tell him. Its stressful enough for them being there and any bad news from home is sure to add to it. Just let him see when PIR rolls around and let him be grateful then that YOU are there to support him.

I think that if you dont tell him now and wait until you see him, that the rush of graduation and seeing you there and holding you, will far outweigh the disappointment of his family missing. Sounds to me like YOU are his family when it really matters!!

Navywife my husband family is the same way if he spends to much time with his mom his dad gets mad. my advise is go with what you feel you should do. I think your husband my know down deep that they will not come so by you telling him will only comform it. Me and my three kids are really the only family my husband has my family love him as their ow but if you have not had that type of love it is really hard for a man to learn to accept..I have been married 20 years and still have to remind my husband he is loved. It is tough but you will find the words to say.. dont sugar coat just tell him

He is blessed to have YOU and your family! He will be overjoyed to see YOU at graduation. I can relate to that as my in-laws are not the most supportive people in my husband's life either ... but he knows who he can and cannot count on, even though he gets his hopes up that they will one day change.

Navywife~ I don't know if you are looking for our opinions or not, but I agree with OhioNavyMama. I think you should wait until after he has finished BC before you tell your husband that his father is not coming to graduation. Our recruits really do have enough to worry and stress about right now. Your husband needs to have all his focus on his BC training right now. I don't think you would want to add any distractions to him right now. And I don't really think it is your responsibility to explain why his father is not coming. I think his father needs to answer to his son why he won't be there. I will pray the Lord nurtures this relationship between father and son and works on mending their differences. I pray you'll do the Lords will in this situation, whatever that shall be. The only reason I see for your husband to know they won't be at graduation, would be incase there is somebody else your husband would want to have there. Your husband would have to have the four names of the people attending graduation. You are in a tuff situation, I don't envy your dilema and will keep you in my prayers.
