Picture of my son in Monte Carlo. Thought I would share with you ladies. Carol Ann
I don't post a lot, but I always read everyone else's post. Just wanted to say how excited I am for all of us that our homecoming day is almost here! Can't wait to see those smiling faces! I will we could know which face belongs to those of you who can't be there when the ship comes home so we could hug them for you. But your happy dance day will just be a little bit later when you see them get off of those planes! Prayers for safe travels for everyone!
hmm ... guess I'm not a very good mom
Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee WOW! I'm up before the alarm. You know I slept very little thinking about seeing our son again. LOL My Mama is Happy Dancing in heaven... The Best Moms Get Promoted to Grandma's! So happy for those of you getting your Sailors home soon! I'll try not to scream too much on the livestream! LOL Keep Those Prayers Coming! Keep Those Feet and Hearts Dancing! See you soon! Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee WOW Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee WOW
to tall Joan, awww bless your sailor daughter heart, (she just want to row around in the grass) remember when we were kids how great that felt to feel free rowing & rowing in the grass! lol
Also, she's one of GOD humble child, she knows how to appreciate even the little things of life that GOD has sent our way to enjoy!
Peace and Love to you Carrie thank you for your words and prayers.
sheis22 give your sailors a big birthday hug and wishing her the best. she will be where before long I pray she has a safe trip home
Hello fellow Navymoms, I read, but rarely post. My daughter is coming off of the ship with no family to meet her. It didn't work out for her cousin to be there & I can't afford the trip from california. So sad. Her birthday is tomorrow. Good news is that she is flying home the following day and we will meet her at the airport with welcome home signs and big hugs. We will celebrate her birthday, home coming & the holiday all three. I can't wait. I will check out the livestream. Thanks for all of your posts especially Coach shiela and all of you spiritual uplifts. God is great!
Hey-hey everybody! Paula, pschip, navymom2, Coach Sheila, too tall Joan, Catsmom, dragon 7 and all of my Sisters to excited....thanks for all my sailor birthday wishes, the love with all your comments.
Well, I finally went to sleep almost 10 am this morning from yesterday, I was on a spiritual/naturally high from talking to my sailor on yesterday. I've been awake for about couple hours now. That's why you didn't see the morning prayer to jump start your day with positive energy and thoughts.
I'm so excited for those that are going and the ones staying behind such has myself, our spirits and prayers are with everyone, stay SAFE, prayed up and keep those prayers going up high to GOD and carrying him with you everyday! GOD Bless, all of our Sailor's and their Families. Peace & Love
