Thank you! I think this has been the roughest week since she left. I have faith that we will all be there. I just lit my candle, said a prayer outloud to her and to the man upstairs to give her strength and courage for today. May we all get our calls in the coming week.

Love it. But the not knowing is the part that is getting to me. Wish I was a fly on that wall to see how they are all doing, maybe even fly on their shoulders and tell them in my loudest fly voice, you got this, just a little bit more. Go, Go, Go. But since I am not a fly on the wall, I will say it here. GO, GO, GO YOU GOT THIS, JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. 1 MORE WEEK FROM TODAY!!!.
Yeah, I am on the odd side this morning.

Ladies, I have a BIG concern and am SO emotional over this! My recruit called me yesterday to tell me that due to the HORRIBLE shin splints she has, she can barely walk, let alone run, They are doing physical therapy with her, but she missed her Physical fitness time by 16 secs. and has been separated from her division! She is devastated as we all are of course! If she doesn't make it on the last try she gets tomorrow, she won't be graduating on Friday and wer can't see her!! IShe cried through the 2 minute call she got to alert me of this, and I am crying as I write this. I miss her SO much !! PLEASE pray for us and send all of your positive energy her way. If she doesn't call tomorrow, we have to cancel the trip. I am heartbroken!! Does anyone know how I can find out what happens next if she can't graduate with the division? HELP!!!

I have my candle lit and I am praying for her. I too am on the edge of my seat. My SR did not make the run either. I found this on Facebook......Father, in the coming days I will need You, But, my recruit will need You more.
Let him perform his tasks with a sense of duty, not of anger or vengeance. Let his reflexes be quick and his hands steady.... Let his head be clear and his eyes sharp. Let his mind and body be strong and his spirit stronger.
Christ, please stand by my recruit and watch his back when he cannot.
Father, I love this recruit of mine! Take from ME,what he needs and give me what he does not. I will pace the nights, if it means he gets some sleep. I will deal with fatigue, if it means he will have energy. I will carry his fear if it means it gives him courage. I will take his pain, if it means he is healthy and whole. I will take his anger, if it means he is at peace.
Take from me my love and pride and let him feel it! Let him know that I am with him every step of the way. Please, take from me what You can; I give it willingly and with love.
It is all that I have besides my prayers.
Above all, please help my recruit achieve his goal of becoming a United States Sailor. This I ask on bended knee, that which I cannot do without You.
Amen. (author unknown) -

Thank you Jessie'sMom and Christina. I cried SO hard when I read that prayer. I realize that I really needed that release, so THANK YOU! And thank you for the personal prayers as well. It helps knowing we aren't alone in this, so thank you to you, my new friends! No call today yet to tell me that something magical happened today. JessiesMom, I loved your words to Jessie and tried to convey the same to Danielle. My Aunt who is a Navy vet told me they usually will let them do the bike instead. I know everything happens for a reason, and the reason for this set back will present itself in time. I just miss her so much and want to hold her SO bad that I can't stand it! It is times like this that I must remind myself of the Serenity Prayer...God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can...and the wisdom to know the difference. If only it didnt' HURT so much, you know??

You are more than welcome. It is harder than I thought it would ever be. I just wish I was there to pick her up, brush her off and give her a big hug and tell her to go get em.
I know that she is doing her best and she will get through this. Danielle will get through it as well. The have what it takes. I truly wish I would have found this site prior to her leaving, I think it would have helped out a lot.
Anytime you need to chat, vent or whatever, just send me a message. I will get it and respond. that is what Christina does for me. We are sisters in this big family. We do what we can!
