5/9/09 0 CommentsHello To My Loyal Friends
Hello My Wonderful Loyal Friends, It has been a long while since I have been around here. I do check in now and again but I don't stay long. I hope everyone is doing well.
It is almost time to renew my fan club subscription. I am contemplating whether to do so or not. I kinda need the money for bills, so I am trying to figure out a way to balance both.
I am very excited because my son will be coming home for a few days in June. I can not wait. I have been dreaming about him and picturing him surprising me and showing up at home. So, when he call to tell me he can come home, I was extatic. I will try to come around a little more often and catch up with you all. I do miss you and hope I haven't been forgotten. Loyal Love to you all!!!! -
1/3/09 0 CommentsA day with mixed emotions
First I want to thank everyone for the special Holdiay wishes. I am sorry that I wasn't able to respond to all of you, but I do hold them all dear to my heart. I have been busy for the past 2 weeks with my son being home. I tried to get in as much time with him as I could.
Well today we had to take him back to the airport. My feelings and emotions are so torn. It was wonderful having him home. He looks great and really is a dfferent person from the one who left here in September.
While he was home, he was hanging out alot with his friends and it just seemed like he didn't fit in with them any more. I think he is really starting to out grow them, thank God!! He is moving ahead with his life and has a real future and his friends are all stuck right where he left them.
So you can see where emotions can be torn. I am happy that he is home but even happier that he is away from his friends and moving on with his life, but sad because I will miss him like crazy,
He will be graduating the Armour division at the end of this month and from there he is going to Fort Irwin, CA. He will be there for about 2 years and then on to Afganistan. I am hoping that our new president pulls us out of there before then.
So my dear Loyal friends, please continute to pray for my son and our soldiers. Have a healthy and Happy New Year. Let's hope 2009 will be better than 2008!!

My son graduated bootcamp on November 21, 2008. We are so proud of him. He is not the person who left home in September, that's for sure. He is the new and improved version of my son. He has really matured and he is so proud and sure of himself, now more than he has ever been in his life.
I was so against him joining the Army and now that I have seen the change in him, I know this is what was best for him.
When they say that you will be all that you can be, they aren't joking.
I miss him dearly with all my heart, but I am so proud of him and honored to call him my son!!
He is stationed at Fort Knox, KY and is in the Armour division. He will be training to operate a tank and Humvees. He will be the soldier who goes in and kicks the doors in. I am not to happy about that, but he assures me he is being highly trained for it. He will be coming home on December 19 - January 3 for the holidays and then going back to KY until he graduates the Armour training on January 30. From there he will be heading to Fort Irwin, CA. He may be stationed there for about 1 year and from there he may go to Afganistan or Iraq. But let us pray that President Obama does something before then and pulls our troops out.

I am leaving tomorrow for Fort Knox KY to see my son graduate bootcamp and become an official US Army soldier. I am so proud of him for all he has accomplished. I will post some pictures when I get back on Sunday.
