Home from a wonderful time at our Sons Graduation Ship 11 DIV 331... Words can not even begin to discribe the feelings at graduation. He looked great told alot of funny stories but all in all he said it was a good experience :) He left early Saterday morning for Texas and I have not talked to him yet. I know he is fine but would love to hear how Texas is?
Try to soak it all in. We loved the Navy Lodge :)

Thanks for the Friend request. I hope that we can be around to help and support each other for some time. If there is ever anything I can help with, don't hesitate to ask. Take care and blessings to you and yours.
Thanks you for your kind words, I wish I felt as encouraged by them, but Im putting on a brave face :) Ive cried on and off all day today. We live in Illinois and my son wil be 20 on the 28 of Aug...going to be a rough day :( I miss him terribly, I miss his smail, his sarcasm, I miss watching football with him, I miss the way he started every phone call with...hey, iys me :) sigh...but God will sustain, His Grace IS enough :) Love to chat too..I usually am gone almost every night as my daughter dies gymnastics and theater, but actually we dont have much going on till Sept, so give me a day and time that would work for you....
Just checking in. How are you? Take lots of pics. Be sure to have some alone time with your son. Talk over what number he will call when he gets his address. I never got a call. :( so prepare for that. I still have not heard from Darren but did get his form letter and his box of belongings. Let your son know he will have to mail back his phone. Sending you lots of prayers. Be strong and tell your son thank you for serving his country from an Okie Mom.
