thanks Lynn, no I think we are good here.
I have been down this road before. Ending was different a bit. She was able to go on. He just laughs and says I am broken, this is what the Navy calls them...
He is far from broken. He is a can do kid/adult/ Always has been. Not much kept him down.Actual broken bones never stopped him, he would keep going until the end of a game and if not complain that his team needed him and why did you take me away from them, lol.
Broken folks do not go far and do not want much, he wants everything and is on his road to going far.
He said he is going to be the best daddy he can be and from there, he says sky is the limit for him.
I will be around tomorrow though, waiting for some awesome pics.

Hang in there Tobianne...what a support you have been...I am sure this weekend will be filled with mixed emotions for you...just to let you know I will be around tomorrow morning if you need something....your son is not broken....God never allows people to be broken...scraped up a bit perhaps, changing pathways perhaps but never never broken...he is lucky to have a steadfast mom like you

Thank you both, I know how wonderful you will be to see your Sailors.
Tell them both Kyle wishes them the best of luck. He says he had a division that could not be broke. Until he became the broken. He thinks of these men often and says this is what they are doing today.

@Tobianne - I was looking back at my letters from my sailor this morning and remembered him asking me to pray for one of his friends who could no longer stay. I don't know if it was your son, but just know I was thinking about him =)

Safely here! Long trip, but we are safe. I'm feeling emotional, just a quick thanks to everyone of you here. All of your wisdom & insight and sharing through this journey has kept me together & made the journey a fun one. I am so proud to be a part of this group of families supporting our country's protectors to keep us the home of the free & the land of the BRAVE. Because all of our new Sailors are brave & amazing human beings in my eyes. I have never met a better group of people in my life than all of you! Can't wait to meet some of you tonight & tomorrow.
Tobianne you always have a place in my heart. My Sailor & I were talking about Kyle & how he is missed & thought of by HIS DIV. He'll always be a part of the 369 group.

Arrived in Great Lakes this morning around 3 am... that was a long 19 hour trip.
I know i've only been part of N4M for less than a week, but this has truly been amazing! I feel like besides the letters/phonecalls, this was a wonderful connection to my sailor and getting to know all the moms/wives/gf's of these amazing men & women....
I'll be at the Meet & Greet tonight - Hope to see yall there!

At the airport with hubby!!!

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever depart my family (Navy). I am here for the rest of my life... Some day we will sit back and say wow what a ride my life has been. God has given me this in bits early.
Have a blast with your girl. It goes by too fast. I made 2 trips to see my daughter while still at GL. I will also be headed toward TX in a few months to see her. They stand tall and make us proud.
My son is going to be alright. He is a strong young man and will never forget that he did go forth and wanted to make this sacrifice.
Our Sailors today can actually say, I wanted to do this. They do not have to take them and in some cases they turn them away before they ever get to meps.They see the ones that really want this.
Well I am off to work, gotta go listen to screaming kiddo's and hope I leave without a headache!!
