Merry Christmas Everyone! :)
This group has become my family... I would never have thought in a million years that people on the net could become so close... it is an awesome feeling having family so far away, yet so close! :) As you all know, I only have my kids, so our gatherings are, well, very small, but very special and having all of you in my life makes life feel so much better!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to all..... and may all our Sailors be safe and sound :) :)

Just a quick post to wish all of my extended family a Very Merry Christmas and enjoy the time with our sailors who are home. For our sailors who are away they are in our hearts and prayers.
Sailorjay - God bless you for your touching comments. I am so fortunate to have all of you as my extended family (the ones who know Navy life and supports it and understands, I am proud of all of you.
Sam's mom - As we enter into the Holy evening you and your family have super special prayers. I know it is difficult anytime, but more so during the holidays to face what you are now. It is sad, but when my mother was ill, I prayed for the Lord to take her and not let her suffer. It is better for them - hard on us left behind. So, I do so understand. God Bless You

TXSASILORSAM: Your family is on our minds, hearts and in our prayers always. tonight I will light a candle at church. Enjoy the time with your Sailor and family, that's always been my comfort.
Sorry for not being on. It seems with Sailor home we are out the door or all the computers are being used, and "its not by me!
Eileen, I'm lost on the logo for the boxes. What's going on with them? Not enough time to view all the posts to get up to speed, so maybe just fill me in.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO MY EXTENDED FAMILY. WISHING ALL A PEACEFUL DAY AND THE NEW OUTLOOK WE ALL WILL HAVE FOR THE NEW YEAR, WHEN ALL OF OUR SAILORS WILL BE JOINING THE FLEET. WHERE EVER THEY MAY BE OUR HEARTS WILL BE ALSO.
TO ALL THE MILITARY FAMILIES PRAYERS, PRAYERS, PRAYERS.

Thanks everyone... sorry to say more bad news this a.m.. I'm going home but feel so much like I'm deserting him but can do nothing to help. I am so praying he hangs on until Jan 2nd so I can have some time with Sam. I'd so much rather he "go home" this way than through the agony the end stage of cancer brings. Not very cheery for Christmas. Forgive me.
I very much hope everyone on here with sailors and those who are in the fleet have a super holiday. I will concentrate on the reason we celebrate. I hope you all are able to do the same in the midst of the hubbub.
Again thanks for the MANY prayers you are lifting heavenward for me, dad,Sam and our family. You are a blessing.
