Hang in there, Sharon. These kids are resilient and bounce back....I know the "mom" in you wants to take care of him right now....of course! But he'll get through this, Sharon....praying for him!
Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 11, 2010 at 9:12pm
Thanks so much ladies, I have had a good cry and cleanse. I keep praying to God that he keeps Diego in the palm of His hands and protect and surround with light white. It is so hard to have him there and us here. It has been hard not having him home and then the husband leaves for the past two weeks too. It is just the time that I need to cleanse the soul.


@kgswife. Thank you, but when he goes and looks for him, his real name is Kyle. We call him Diego and he signs his letters Diego, but I am not sure he is going by that name there. I also call him "D" I appreciate that you would do that for me. Diego read his bible before he would go to bed at home, he has a small book that our Pastor gave to him. Itis Strength for Service, and it has Scripture in it. I am praying that it is helping him get through these darker days. I do help that if he isn't feeling better tomorrow that he would go to medical. It hasn't been sick much in all of his short years. So, for him to be sick, well, as a mom you want to take care of him. Thanks again, just had to get through this.

Oh sharon:( My thoughts and prayers are with your son and i will send a special letter to my husband to help him and encourage him! He will be ok i promise! God is watching over him in your absence and just know nothing formed against him shall prosper!!!! We love you and are praying for diego!
Tobianne- Thanks so much!!! Everyone gets astray from the lord every now and then but thats the best part... he loves us no matter what! unconditional love!!! Your son will find his way back to him i promise you that! Message me his name so i can pray for him as well as diego!!! and thank you for praying for my husband as well! They will pull through this guys!! i promise!!! keep the cards and letters rolling!!! 4 more weeks!!!!love you ladies:)
Comment by Tobianne on October 11, 2010 at 8:34pm
Sharon, they are afraid to some degree about going to medical. This can keep them SIQ for a few days and they do not want that. He will go if he gets bad enough. The RDC's will see how sick he is and they will make him go. Have some faith. My son was sick this weekend and had a fever they had him stay down all weekend. He says he is feeling much better today so we will see.
Comment by Tobianne on October 11, 2010 at 8:31pm
Oh Sharon, I know how you are feeling, you cry and let that out.
KGswife- he will do this, I have faith in my God and he will hold him up in that water. I sure hope your hubby is bunked by my son. He needs God in his life right now so bad. I pray for him all the time. I know I can not pray him into salvation but I can sure as heck try. I can ask God to knock on his heart and then watch what happens. Not being there though I am not sure. I also do not get the time to ask him as the G-F gets more phone time. I will just keep praying. I do want to have you thank your husband for praying for them.
You give that boy a hug from all of us momma's and tell him his daddy is doing a great thing and that soon he can talk to him and see him when ever he wants. Well you know what I mean.
Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on October 11, 2010 at 8:24pm
Hang in there Sharon! They all fight the Ricky crud, and if he gets bad he can go to medical call, so if he needs to hopefully someone will encourage him to do so. Hopefully your husband's return won't get delayed again & he'll be home this week. We love you here, so long distance hugs to you. I think we all have our crying spells these days, so maybe today will be better for you.
Comment by Sharon ~ K's Mom on October 11, 2010 at 8:19pm
Having a really hard time tonight. Diego was able to call and it just has me in tears! He got his lower wisdom teeth out last week, but right now he is really, really sick. He didn't want to tell them in case he was able to call which he did. It is so hard to know that he is so sick and I can't do anytning for him. He sounded so bad, I just want to go and get him. He is really homesick too, he was able to call his dad who is still in California and then his girlfriend. We, Kevin and I don't get too much time so he can chat with Kelsey. I was so happy to hear his voice, but crying because he sounded so sad. I told him to tell them he wasn't feeling good and told him that the "crud" is going around. They passed their tests last week, they did well on it. Didn't ask about inspections though. He said they were getting better as a group. I wanted to talk to him more, but he wasn't sure how much time he got. This is so hard, he is there, husband is in California, Kelsey is at college. Korey and Kacy are home with me, but half the family is missing. I know this will pass, but right now my heart is breaking. So much change in a short period of time.............................*sigh* Thanks for the shoulders!

I'm praying for KG to float, and for all our family members in boot camp and those supporting them at home to stay strong physically and spiritually through this difficult time. I'm so glad he's around my son who respects KG. He needs to have the lord back in his life more, so I am so glad that Kg prays for them at night. It helps me to know what a nice group of people he's going through this with. They are getting closer.. HOOYAH!
