I had not seen him in 4 long years and had never met my 11 month Gd so you can immagine how much fun I am having and was able to get all 7 grand children together 4 awhile. I am only on coumputer now as had 2 go wait for my daughters delivery of furniture as they only deliver on WEd and she is at work.I am spending every min I can with them and get tears at the thought of them having to leave . I get teary like now just thinking of them being gone again ,even tho I know he is in military and will always have to be away from us.Don't get me wrong I am very proud of him but it still hurts 2 say goodbye ,enough blubering as I am truely greatful for the time I am being able to spend with them.I will try to post new blanket I made 4 GD.Thank you all 4 being here 4 me it really helps alot.

2196How grand & glorious 4 U. Am so glad he made it home & I know he's glad to b back. I salute your son 4 being willing to give his all 4 this country, Yours, his & mine. It seems almost all my forebears fought n one war or another, My dad was a marine, my DH that passed away 20 yrs ago was a marine, my brother was Airforce. I was raised to love my country & to honor the ones who served. I know how very happy u must be. when my daughter's DH was overseas (helicopter pilot army) I didn't get to see my g. kids or daughter 4 long time. all I wanted to do was hug, hug hug. *

14353Have fun with your family. Tell you son we are proud of him and our troops, and that God be with them. It is hard to know that our children and g-children can not always be with us, but they do spread their wings and fly away, don't they. ((( ))).

22886I know all too well about the military. I married a Marine. He had to go overseas the other way. Viet Nam, and that was very trying on us all. He turned into an entirely different person when he retired from the service. Thinking back on all those lonely months waiting for him to come home is not an easy thing to do. It takes special people to get through it. So many families end up broken. All the moving around and uprooting is hard on the kids and spouses. The kids have to start new schools and make new friends, the spouses need new jobs and friends and curtains etc. Adjustments all over the place. Where are the relatives? Well, they are way off somewhere. Most military kids don't know their grandparents, aunts or uncles very well at all. Yours are very lucky. They have finally gotten to know you. Hopefully, the visits will be closer together. Not only do you need it, but they need it as well. Keep smiling. There is no sorrow, but only joy here. This is all good. *4u
Don't forget to take lots and lots of pictures.
