this is from the group called military moms:
I have made friends with my sons buddies through myspace and mostly facebook! and they posted pictures of him! OMG i have felt so giddy and just so thrilled to see him! plus my tears are filled with so much love for him. he actually asked them to take pics of him and post jus for me. Even if he has his own computer, he jus doesn't do it. But i know it is alot for him with his work but ya know I am the MOM ! But i am so encouraging him to get with it. it really is email and internet these days.(since he hasn't even wrote me one letter or postcard since being in asia! and i send him usually 2 letters a week .) okay a small rant.
I am seeing what he is doing as a Marine. I have always ever wanted to know everything about what my son is doing. But, i am slowly trying to let go and know he makes his decsions. Ohh his fellow brothers are awesome and i hope to meet them. I am very proud of all of these young men. and they have a lot of courage!
this is the first holiday season that we will be apart. yes it is new begginings for both of us. and i am glad to express myself here about this situation.
I am a new military mom and there is definatly a lot of learning.
guide and protect. peace and love
SEMPER FIDELIS

this is from the group moms of one:
wait til your son is 19 and a marine and you experience the first holiday season with out him. And have to rely on his fellow brothers to post pictures of him on facebook only because he hardly writes to me but i send 2 letters a week to him. Than when you see how grown and independent he is! and loves what his new career is. i see him as my little guy in his eyes TEARS are flowing for your one and only. ! and he rarely calls. but ya know i have him so deep in my heart..i forgive him. so this is my current situation as a mom of one! (BTW>>single mom of one<<) and i also just think twitter moms are the recent best outreach for me. as far as really knowing that moms really do unite as one in the end! and i love the GNO! so thanks for being my friend. add me on on face book , myspace and of course www.twitter.com/jalove

i answered the question, what is your only child getting for christmas.:
Aloha, things have been so tight for me that i will be lucky to send a box to him through the mail. But what to put in side?
when he was younger(from birth til about 9 yrs old) he got it all. and i remember my sons dad (who insisted on assembling his first bike and he is not at all that much of a mechanical person) and i stayed up till 3 am to figure this bike out for him in the morning .i think he was like 3 going on 4. oh and i remeber that it would take HOURS to open the presents.and it was usually jus my sons dad , me and my son. than later my sis would come with her daughter and the kids would play everything all at once! having abundance in toys and games and goodies are always fun. throughout the years i have donated these same items to others(usually Women Helping Women) and i would save only the real special ones. And i would have my son go through the proscess with me about what to keep and what to give. he knew what he REALLY liked.(game gear,power rangers, batman,big wheel,vi tech computer, and sometimes just the funniest little stuff. But 19 yrs later, i think i have the special x mas ornimant, pictures and lots a tears in remembering how our christmas together were so filled with it all. NOW> it is me here and my son is in asia and i have finally got in the mood to even bring out the decorations.(the dad never calls me, although when and if he does, we are usually civil to each other. did i mention that the dad lives about 5 miles from me with no communication at all). OH yeah, usually since 2 yrs till about teenager , he would always get a cold during this time.
thank you for this fond memory or what i would get for my one and only during holidays)
prosperity and abundance in PEACE , LOVE JOY, and just each other!
