Got a call from our son this morning, wasn't expecting it. I missed my call but my husband got a call and they talked for a while. Of course it was a unknown number/prepaid calling card. Thought those days of sitting by the phone were over.
Hi everybody, I haven't been here in a while been busy planning road trip and parties; I live with my mother who will celebrate her 101st birthday soon. (Yes that soon). Mom seems to have a special and very strong connection to quite a few Guardian Angels and she has a very long prayer list. When Mom goes to bed, she closes her door and then she says her rosary and novena prayers every night. She's 100 years old, so I check on her one more time while her light is on; usually she's playing cards and hasn't started her prayers yet. Last night I went in, her light was still on and for the first time in my life I heard my mother softly singing her rosary. I quietly left before I disturbed her. That sight of my mother singing, her eyes closed is a sight I will always remember and the feeling of peace and comfort will also be remembered. I don't know if that feeling means my sailor will be at her party, but I do know it means he and the ship are protected by the prayers and positive energies sent by all the mothers, grandmothers, spouses, siblings, family and friends. Brightest Blessings, fair winds and following seas to all our sailors.
LindaD, that is Awesome! Happy birthday to your mom!
beenerjoan, sorry you missed your call, my phone is always close..LOL The phone becomes part of us.
Off to work, TGIF!
Beautiful story LindaD! I am in SA visiting my elderly Parents and said the Rosary with my Mom this morning! It is comforting to hear about all the prayers being said for our brave young men and women! TGIF!
LindaD I'm not on as often as I would like but know everyone is in my thoughts and prayers as we continue to wait for the homecoming hugs.. Please tell your mother thank you for her prayers...God Bless you all!!!
Hey everyone! I was wondering if you guys knew how the first duty works? My husband has first duty during homecoming...Does that mean he can't get off the ship until the following day?
LindaD.....I really love your Testimony, it was very moving to me! Its really a blessing from GOD to have your Mom still living and Bless her heart that she's still remembering others in her prayers. Tell Momma, Carrie said:
♪ Happy 101 Birthday to you ♫, ♪ Happy 101 Birthday to you ♫, ♪ Happy 101 Birthday to LindaD Momma---- ♫, ♪ Happy 101 Birthday to you ♫ and many more! I Luv U sweetie!!!!
