Welcome Mississippi Mom
This group is awesome!!! We all keep each other informed. I agree Girls are better about calling home LOL. I talked to my daughter yesterday she says the same as everyone else all they know is that they are heading to Japan. We know more than she does she said.
Good morning ladies and I too am like Blondie, couldn't wait for Monday morning :) and to get back to work (LOL!). My internet has been out at my house since sometime Friday, and I have been i-rate all weekend. My son is on the BR and I haven't talked to him. I did come to the office on Sat. morning to log on Facebook and wouldn't you know that he had posted on Friday night! So needless to say I called my internet provider again and unloaded. It is ureal how much you can find out via FB, e-mail, and it goes without saying that N4M is a true lifeline. I have been lost all weekend not being able to log on to N4M. You ladies are such a tremendous help, when yall post that you have heard from your Sailors, I know that my son is also okay, so please keep your updates coming, as they help all of us stay connected. Our kids sure need our prayers and support. I really dread for our Sailors to have to go back to such devastion and loss, but I am so proud of each of them, as I know they will all step up and do what is asked of them. Praying for safe travels for everyone on the BR, and for everyone in Japan.
Hi everyone,
my nephew talked to Katie earlier on FB and she said they were heading back now, he said are u prepared for what you are going to see she said yes but I just don't want to find any dead bodies. Our kids are going to be seeing things they've never seen before. God Bless them All!! I know what u mean Kathy about taking a break from the TV I just worry about those reactors!!
Hi Janis welcome to our group
they can get emails in and out I sent my daughter 1 this morning and she emailed me back this afternoon, a few of the others have got messages from there sailors and the BR is safe and on it's way home with humanitarian supplies.
