Kevsmom93...hi, so nice to hear from you again. I can just imagine how happy you are to have both boys back. I remember last year when my Marine son returned from his 7 month deployment from Africa, I was one happy lady. He has since been honorably discharged from the Marines after 6 years, this past Spring & deciding his next move. Our Navy son is getting ready for his 7 month deployment this fall, so he'll be gone for all the holidays, as you could probably have guessed from the Calendar squares I made. Congratulations to your son on earning his Dolphins. What great news!!

Enjoying everyone's posts! Funny how we all have so many things in common, it never ceases to amaze me. Every email to my boys while deployed ended with "Please stay safe and stay healthy! Hugs and kisses Love your always proud Mom." I think if I had deviated from my usual closing they would have thought something was wrong with me...ha ha ha./lol/gmao/he he/ho ho...whatever is the trend I don't know anymore!  That post/topic from way back made me crack-up! 

LindaGirl: I  think your squares are awesome, they just tugged at my heart strings. Fantastic idea and your son is going to love each and every one of them! Our youngest who is the Marine, returned from a 7 month deployment in July and our Sailor returned this month from his, where I might add......(drum roll)...... he earned his fish :-D Nice to have both boys back, makes for happy parents. 

mrsb you have one incredible compassionate and giving heart! 

Thinking of all all of you who are missing your boys.

LindaGirl, I love your calendar squares!!!!  I only did two for my son; I had 4 but a wife had just arrived to the base and there were none left, so I gave her two of mine.  It was good though as it's hard to figure out what to put on them!

 I too write we are  proud of  him and the family loves him.    When he does come back  I get a text or a call then he is off to find a restaurant to get a quick break from boat food.

Eaglefan our son's boat is out there constantly I try to tell him look at how much money you are saving by eating every meal on the boat most of the year instead of back in Hawaii and getting your pick of  restaurants haha that doesn't go over too good though.

Phoebs, that is funny that you always tell your son that you are proud of him, my husband always says the same thing. I always say I love you and I get the you too. I know when he actually says I love you he is really missing home.

Eaglefan-hopefully you start hearing from your son soon. I think the reason it got to me this time there has been a few issues with his financial stuff and I had hoped to receive an answer to the issue.  Thankfully the evening I wrote on this wall I received the long awaited email which had been sitting in lala land for a while. All I can say is thankfully I was patient and everything turned out fine.   Thanks for all the support!  I'm praying for a safe return of all our sailors..  I love them all and I'm so very proud of them.  

I sometime wonder if my son gets tired of reading the same thing over and over..  "We love you son and we are so very proud of you!!"  Haha--if he does he will never tell me.

Webby2014 and Eaglefan enjoyed your posts and I'm sure that will be me soon. My son said "When you stop hearing from me, I'm underway." It could be any day, week now. This is what he trained for and he's excited. It will be harder on his fiancé because they speak every day but she's in med school so she will be busy. He's my buddy and we laugh at the same weird things but I'll be ok and count the days until I hear from him again. I bought a journal to write in every day he's gone so I don't forget to tell him something. Thanks for your encouragement to other sub moms.

Missing him already. Left today after being home for a two week leave. It wad so nice to have him back in the house again. Hope to see him before he goes back out on patrol later in the year. Bought him a car to take back to the base. He was so happy to have a vehicle again. Hug them tight when you can and tell them how proud you are of them.

Rhonda yes you are correct Boomers do not have that kind of homecoming.  I have one grandson on a Fast Attack and one on a Boomer.  I never hear from my boomer grandson until he is back on land.   However I do get to email him while he is underway.

The grandson we welcomed home in San Diego it will be his last deployment as he will transfer to shore duty in the next several months.  Just a short underway to take the boat up to Washington for it's decommissioning.  Now both my grandsons will be together in Washington, they are super excited about that.

Hi Phoebs, I'm pretty sure our sons are on the same boat. I haven't heard from mine in 5 weeks. I've been weepy right along with you;-)! This is my son's 3rd underway, and it has gotten easier, but I still have a hard time with the prolonged silence. Praying for our sons and their shipmates for a safe a speedy rest of their patrol!⚓️♥️
