you were leaving to go into the Navy ....if you had rang my bell ....I would
have been holding one of your legs also!
Iam so proud and thankful to our Men & Women Serving and Im a Proud American.
But its natural to feel scared on letting you go....
I understand the importance on saying goodbye and being strong
because thats what he'll remember .....so Debbie please be strong and
cry your eyes out after he leaves....

I asked him if he could just sneak out and not say so long to any of us!!! lol That's the worst part. I'm such a whimp....I cry over everything....I'll have to take extra xanax that day......lol

Helen .....true story .....when I divorced my kids were 2 & 7 and they were going to Holy Name. My Ex couldnt accept that I wasnt taking him back after I saw him
with another girl. So, in his words he wanted to see me crawl ....so this way I had no choice but to take him back. I DIDNT!

Lesson Learned......I thank him today for saying that to me....because
that made me a stronger person.....my kids graduated from Holy Name
and Vinny Graduated from Xaverian HS and I worked 7 days a week
around the Holidays .... tired as hell ....and crawling back home...but
with a smile on my face.

now my kids are grown ....nothing can hurt me anymore.....and he
is there for my Kids and Grandchildren now.....so I guess we all had
some struggles in life....which just make us stronger to go on....

I DO A LITTLE SHOPPING EACH PAY WEEK & I START IN THE SUMMER...I DON'T LIKE TO SHOP WITH THE LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS.. STORES ARE TOO NUTS...PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME, BECAUSE I START SO EARLY, BUT I HAVE THE LAST LAUGH WHEN THE LAST MINUTE SHOPPERS ARE PULLING THEIR HAIR OUT OF THEIR HEADS..LOL

Hey Jim ....what the heck ...Jeanette got a (1) and I got a (0) ???? What test were we taking? Can I have a do-over? LOL

SUZIE..TALK ABOUT STRUGGLES.. I DON'T THINK THERE IS ONE PERSON ON HERE WHO HAS NOT HAD THEIR SHARE OF THOSE...BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, WE BECAME STRONGER & BETTER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF OUR STRUGGLES..WE LEARNED TO STAND ON OUR OWN 2 FEET... BUT IN THE END, LIFE IS GOOD...:) XX

Yes girls.....what we have gone through in life has definately made us stronger people. I tell my kids that everything that happens in life is for a reason and there's always a lesson to learn from itl.

Yep .....now if we can only figure a way of no one dying...Id be
