It seems like his days as a baby were gone so fast and before we knew it he was on to kindergarten. Then in what seemed like mere moments in time, we were watching him pitch at baseball games and then he was on to high school where we saw him play football and sing & dance in the school musical...The time sure has flown by. So many wonderful memories of watching him grow up and become a fine young man and we are very proud of him.
No prim decor, no giveaways, nothing but me being a proud mama today.
Until next time....
Grace to you,
Margie
Hi MARGIE,

Of course, I will remember him and all of you in my prayers.

We have no idea where it all went.

I am very proud of your son too. Please thank him for his service for me. My thoughts and prayers will be with Kyler and your family. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteA hug to you, and prayers for your son....
ReplyDeleteThanks to all the men/women who serve our country.... You must be so proud of him....
God bless him and your family.
Awwww - so bittersweet. Proud - and brokenhearted at the same time. I can see the mixture of pain and pride in your eyes. What a wonderful photo, though, of the two of you. Kyler is so very handsome....must have gotten his looks from you, huh?? Big hugs to the both of you....He, you, and the rest of your family will be in my prayers until he comes back safely home to you. No matter what, he'll always be your baby....Hugs my friend - and lots of them....Robin
ReplyDeleteOh sweetie you should be so proud! You raised a fine young man.I know it's hard to let go.Big Hug for you!~Amy
ReplyDeleteMargie you should be so proud! He is a handsome young man with such bravery.Please know that he is and will continue to be in my prayers! Big hugs to you Margie!!Jen
ReplyDeleteMy heart is heavy for you and I pray for his safe return and that God will keep you and your family safe in his arms.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI was there in your shoes in the spring of 2007! My son was stationed in Italy with the 173rd Airborne, so we couldn't be there when they deployed to Afghanland as my son calls it.I know the fear you are feeling, I know the heart ache you are dealing with! You are trying your best to be strong and not let him see you cry or upset because you do not want him to worry about you. You want his mind to focus on the tasks that in front of him. Enjoy your time with him, hug him as much as you can, listen to his voice, memorize his walk, his smile, his favorite sayings or phrases! They will help you in the months ahead.I will pray for him and for your family. Because the son you send off will not be the same son that comes back home. Going over there changes them. They have seen things and done things that we will never know or understand and it changes them.If you need to talk to a Mom that has been there and done that, email me. I will be here for you.
Hugs,
Lynn
Hi Margie,
ReplyDeleteI'm late today getting here...we were out of town since wee early this a.m.
What a handsome son you have and the photo of you and him is just wonderful...he looks like his mama!
I wish him the safest of journeys as he travels to his destination and PRAYERS for his continued safety.
It's okay to let the tears flow...you wouldn't be his/a mama if you didn't.
Big hugs...
Karen
God Bless your son for his service. My prayers are with your son and your family. It's OK to shed tears. All moms do. It's a requirement when they leave, esp to a dangerous place.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Ellie
Margie ~
ReplyDeleteYou have every right to be a very proud momma :) Please give your son my thanks. Freedom isn't free.
Hugs :)
Lauren
Margie, my thoughts and prayers to all of you. A handsome son you have and you have ever reason to be proud. Thank him for my freedom and being able to live in this wonderful USA. Hugs, Marie
ReplyDeleteHow very proud you must be of your son! He will certainly be in my prayers. A big THANK YOU to him and your family as well for the gift he is giving to all of us that enjoy the freedom here in the USA!
ReplyDeleteMargie, Prayers and thoughts going your way that Kyler returns safely home. May God watch over him. Please Thank him for me ~ we so appreciate his service.
ReplyDeleteStay strong my friend ~ Big Hugs to you both!
Prim Blessings

Margie,
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you! Havea few tears myself.. So glad you shared and Yes, very proud mamma indeed! OLM
Please tell your son, "Thank you for serving!"
ReplyDeleteBig hugs Margie! Children grow so fast, saying a prayer for your son and your family.
ReplyDeleteMargie, he obviously has grown into a wonderful young man. How can your heart not be absolutely bursting right now...with pride...with heartache..with a million different emotions bringing you in a million different directions. Being the Mom of a bunch of these creatures myself...I know how amazing they are! I can invision all those years with my own sons...and though I've felt the sting of deployment...can't begin to imagine having it be one of my sons going. God bless you and your family very specially right now! I hope your tears are few..and the days fly by. It doesn't matter how old, or how big they get..they will always be their Momma's baby boys!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say you have a handsome son! I know you are so proud of him and you should be! He may be a grown man, but he will always be your baby boy! Maybe they will all come home before too long. So glad you are home safe.
ReplyDeleteBear Hugs & Blessings~Karen
