my3sons, not in the area, but will definately be praying for girl and family.
Eaglemom... praying for her reunion. Praying for your Hubby and the loss no matter when it comes. <3
Sorry, keeping all prayer requests in my top thoughts always (well, almost always - at least when I kneel to pray)!!
Just read this in another thread - found quite interesting!
"I can't say where my sailor is. It is in a "hot spot", but I know even that is a vague answer. It is meant to be. :-) Sorry. Someone in his group was sent back to the States, with a loss in rank because his parents (esp. his mom) were constantly referring to where they were."
sfdreaming - if his graduation is not until July that means he has not completed "hell week". I'd sure hold off on buying those tickets! There are lots of SEAL moms that can answer questions. I know a few that I can call if you really need to know something. You must be ESPECIALLY careful about putting up pictures (NONE AT ALL) and any information about you or your family. He could lose his SEAL if too much information gets out about him or his family.
Praying for both of you EagleMom and Cece.
Eaglemom, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
My husband has been back and forth to Wichita Falls because his mom has been in the hospital and now rehab. She is 98 years old and has always lived in their family home and now the doctors tell her she can't go back! She keeps blacking out and falling. Keep her in your prayers, too.
My prayers and thoughts go out to you.
does anyone know anything about SEAL 290 graduation in july...how many guests are allowed..time and are there going to be passes for family to come and go from the base
