Happy Thanksgiving To All. It's gonna be a long day.I'm sure this is the first of many holidays we won't be together. I am fighting the tears. I hope to get a call at some point today. We will all be reunited in a week. GOD BLESS, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Happy Thanksgiving every one !
I am having a very ruff day today. Did not sleep well last night. I know I will be seeing my son in a week but I miss him so much all I have been doing today is trying to hold back tears. I keep thinking about what he wrote -that he was just going to stay on the ship, study and not participate in Thanksgiving. This makes me even sadder. I am hoping once the rest of the family gets here my mood can brighten. I plan on recording best wishes from the family to my recruit to play for him when we see him.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this group. I am very grateful to be able to share my thoughts with Moms going through the same thing. It's a great comfort to know these feelings aren't crazy!
Again Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels to all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
~HAPPY THANKSGIVING~
hishippygirl: Just saw that you posted your division below, so forget my question in my message to you! Congrats!
Congrats to the sailors of 027/028!
And I'm happy for all Moms who got the Sailor calls!
Got my call about 2 hours ago too...So happy!!:)Div 28
Wonderful news, so happy for all of you. I hope we all get phone calls tomorrow, I have missed two from my SR and have not spoke to him since his scripted call when he first arrived at GL. Happy Thanksgiving, I am full of gratitude for the many blessings in my life!
