That is a really nice picture of Halee. I talked to the 4th grade teacher and the kids are making cards for her. So I will mail the out after the first of December. They are so wonderful the cards, the words and the picutues, some tell jokes, it is so cute, believe me that will brighten her day.
I am glad she is doing well, I am sure she is very bored. I think about he often. How many more weeks does she have until he cast comes off? I am glad someone is trying to keep her busy. Are you coming up for Thanksgiving? I am hoping for my son to come home but so far no word, his leave is sitting on someones desk, he will not be able to get a plane ticket if they don't let him know soon, oh that Navy makes me mad sometimes. LOL
I hope you are feeling better, it is no fun to be sick. I wanted the girls to see your daughter how cute she is. I think more moms are going Sunday and then maybe the following SUnday so that will give her a few visits. Get better!
Hi, yes your daughter told me all about the job she will be doing and where she wants to go. It was so much fun being with the girls yesterday, I enjoyed every moment. Halee told me that you were sick, that is a long train ride and breathing all that bad air. Halee told me she wanted to go home for Christmas, I do not know if the Navy will let her. I told her she can come with me. I have a daughter 21 and maybe my son will be coming home from Italy for Christmas, I have my fingers crossed. I don't know if the Navy will allow that either and I know you and Halee don't know me but I am not a crazy person. LOL I got in trouble for taking pictures, the nurse was not very nice, but don't worry I got some. LOL If she cannot go any where maybe my daughter and myself could take her to Gunee Mills for the day. I will no be home for Thanksgiving going to FL to see my parents or I would try to get both girls to come to my house.
Thanks I have the directions also. What was she going to do in the Navy? My son is an IT and will be in the Navy for two years November 18th, he is in Italy now, talk about being far away. It has been wonderful for him and I know he just loves it. Can't wait to meet your daughter.
Your poor daughter and being so far away from home. Don't worry about her, she is going to be fine. I am hoping to stop tomorrow on my way home from Gunee Mills, I am going with a friend but I don't think that will be a problem. We are a good group of moms and would love to visit your daughter and the other girl. I will give her a hug from you.
Hi! So is it your daughter that got hurt? I am so sorry to hear that? What happen? I live around an hour from Great Lakes, going shopping up that way. When you go to her PIR I am sure you will be shopping at Gurnee Mills that is where I am going tomorrow. Can they have vistors?
Trying to reach you...would love to visit your daughter while I am in Great Lakes and take her a treat if it is allowed...also I think I am going to start a group for moms like you who have recruits in RCU so you have others to talk to about this process. In addition, we are changing our group to an Alumnae group and remember we are going to be right there with you through this whole process. You will always be one of us in our hearts.
I am glad she will stick it out. She won't have far to go once she gets over the broken leg. I know those can be hard. Good luck to you both and tell her we are all pulling for her.
Hi! I posted on the board, but wanted to ask you personally...do you mind if I write a letter of encouragement to your daughter as she recuperates? I posted this on the board as I think if it is okay with you, there will be others on there who would like to write also. If so, please "friend me" and send me her address. Poor thing...but she is not alone. So many injuries happen in bc. But I want her to know that the N4M ladies are praying for her!
Tracy,
So if you're cooking for that many you won't notice one or two more - - - what time is dinner???? jk I'd love to meet up with you if you are over in this area, unfortunately I'm not living there right now. The officer sailor daughter lives in an apartment there in Stow while she goes to school at Akron. We keep that address as our permanent address as hubby and I move from place to place for his job. Right now we are in Marquette, MI. Now you can certainly come up here to visit and I'd love to meet up with you - - I'll even treat you to lunch!!! Wait a minute - - - with all our similarities - - you don't have famiy up here do you??!!!! ha ha ha ha
HaleesMom,
Our similarities are just too funny - - I had a son and a daughter do marching band in high school. Spent many a friday night at football games as I was a uniform volunteer for all 8 years of band!!!!
I'm sorry you and your family were so touched by the events of 9/11. That was such a horrifying day!!! Can you imagine what it would have felt like to be living during Pearl Harbor? With the exception of having such immediate total news coverage now compared to back then it must have been just as horrific and something that many felt they would ever get over!!!! We should never forget!!!
