In the past I've gotten an email that says they have to edit my email.  The last two I sent didn't have that, neither did the one I sent yesterday.  Hmmm.  Could you have Chris tell Aaron I've sent him emails, but maybe they didn't reach him?  He's thinking all kinds of bad thoughts now because of this.  I'm going to write him another one.

Oh Colleen, I feel so terrible that Aaron never got your e-mail. Christopher doesn't have his phone either, but he does have his computer. I don't know how they receive e-mail when they are not at port. Do you get confirmation that is has been forwarded to the boat? I know any time I have sent Christopher an e-mail, I usually get confirmation that it was sent, sometimes it would take a week. Gee Colleen, hang in there, soon we will be hearing from them. He will get your package that you sent out to him at their next port through the FPO address, and that will put a huge "Smile' on his face  :)  We sent Christopher a couple of little items with an Easter Card last Monday, so I hope he gets it. Deborah, JJ must be thrilled about passing his boards. Where on the east coast will he be? Glad your computer is working now.

Congrats to J.J.  I hope you'll still keep in touch with us, let us know how everything is going.

Oh my goodness! It has been so hard just to get here. My computer crashed several days ago. I am sorry to hear about your friend. My mom died of two blood clots - one in each lung. About Aaron, I hate it when we can't let a loved one know when a misconceptions exists :(. JJ emailed me. He passed his boards!!! He also got his orders. They are moving to the east coast in June. I am happy for him that he got the assignment he wanted. I am sad that they will be so far away :(.

Thanks, Susan.  He had a blood clot near his heart.  I heard from Aaron today.  He is upset with us for not emailing him.  I did email him.  I'm thinking he hasn't gotten them at all.  I wrote and told him that. I am very upset about this.  He doesn't have his phone with him, so we can't call him.  We have to wait to hear from him.  He is also unhappy that I "emailed" you before him!  I guess Chris told him about our conversation.  Does anyone think their emails haven't reached their sons?  I hate to see him in this frame of mind and there is nothing I can do to assure him our love is still in tact.  He's ready to believe the worst.  Malcolm and I started with a grief support group today and it has stirred up a lot of pain as we begin to sort things out.  I hope the email I just wrote him will reach him.

Awwww Colleen, I am very sorry to hear that you have had such bad news. :(  How did your friend pass away?  I am sure our son's are all emotionally Okay. They are probably thinking the same thing we are. They're almost home soon to be with their families. I am sure it gives them great hope!!!!   :)

Thanks, Susan.  I just had a death in my circle of friends.  I went to the memorial service this morning, so I'm a little bummed.  I can't wait to hear from Aaron.  He hasn't communicated for several weeks.  I hope he is okay (emotionally).

Hello My Fellow San Francisco Mom's, Wow,it's been a long time since any of us have communicated! I think we all need to lift up our spirits!!! They seem to be in silent mode right now, which is s good thing, that means "none" of us have heard anything from them, which is a good thing as Shirley said, "No News is Good News". Just think ladies, Homecoming is just around the corner.It's hard to believe that all this time time has passed!!! Before we know it, we'll be getting phone calls on a regular basis. AND, we'll be making plans for visits!! That is Awesome!!!

WOW, that to me sounds very exciting!!! To think, we will be able to see and hear them on a personal level!! I can't wait!!! My Prayers To All Of You. :)

Deborah, that sounds like a really beautiful way to to celebrate a life that you can all remember and cherish. Colleen, keep the faith with the silence. Believe and trust that there is always a reason for everything. It's hard, I know. The other day I was looking through some old photos that just made me laugh and put on the biggest smile!! It made me foget about how far they are,BUT how soon they will all be home.  :)    Yesterday was my daughters B'day, she is 26 now, and her son's B'day is tomorrow, he will be "7". He is having a nice B'day party with some of his classmates from school and some of his friends from the neighborhood. Prayers and love to All.

Thank, everyone.  Colleen, my mother did not want to have a funeral.  She wanted a memorial service.  So we call the memorial service a celebration of her life rather than concentrate on her death.  We are celebrating that she is with Jesus now.  So the service will be uplifting and hopeful rather than sad and downbeat.  My cousin has been working on a video of her which will also be happy and uplifting to be shown at the service.  The text of the service have the aim to bring the "good news" to those who are not saved.  Then we host a meal for everyone who wants to share with us.  So I am sad that she is not with us but happy that she is in a better place.
