my son is being deployed again..not until june, but they told him today.so at least he has time to get things in order, i am thankful for that.
I am also thankful that his wife has not been deployed at the same time..
Last ime, i went to texas for 2 weeks to help with the baby and my 7 year old grandson..it was a pleasure to be in the position to be able to just pick and go..and i know it was appreciated..i got to cook and clean and putz in the garden..all things that bring me pleasure,while helping them out!
I taught her to sew and quilt when i was there..!

he has not told me yet..my daughter called an hour ago, to tell me. i think he will call me tonight, when he gets home from "work"..

I feel for you all. My best friend's son is a Marine as was her husband. She said it is worse when her son has to deploy. We went thru lots of deployments together and it was never easy so hugs and prayers are coming your way!

Deployments are no fun... my husband did them for years before he went to civilian status/week end warrior.

Let us know if you need help or care packages sent. I know how much they enjoy getting mail/books/magazines etc from home.

Your son is doing a great thing. Good job! Your family is in our thoughts!
