I Miss Daron's smile, (and the way his eyes would light up)-it always made me smile in return, even when I was upset with him�.When he was late getting home, I was so worried I would get upset, and he would come in, see my worry, and apologize. Just seeing him home made me feel great. Sometimes that's how I feel now, and I can't wait to see his face again. �I miss hearing him say "Mom, are you okay?" whenever I would drop something in the kitchen. Daron and I are very close and we have been through a lot together. When life's troubles got the best of me, he would say "Mom, it's all gonna be okay", and he would give me some sound advice on life. I believed him, and still do. I miss that. � I miss watching him play soccer and tend goals like the goal was his life. He is so gutsy and always pushing the guys to do better. ... I miss how clean he smells after a shower. He always wanted to smell good. �I miss hearing his music in the house. And our Classical stuff. �I miss reading some of the awesome things he would write, and his doodles on paper left around the house. �I miss washing his clothes (Yep, even those soccer socks that could walk to the washer themselves! ha!). I miss him asking if I needed help in the kitchen or just standing there a moment while I was cooking. �I sure miss his face, his hugs, and going to the movies. ...I miss hearing the music coming down the road and knowing it was him coming home ...I miss him telling me something sweet about someone special he has met and seeing that look in his eyes. His eyes talk so well! �I miss my friend. I miss his advice. I miss bragging about him and he would get embarrassed, but I don't miss him not believing the things I bragged about. He is quite a man now, more confident and proud. He is still there for me, and I cherish our phone calls. I cannot wait until I see him again. I will never take these things for granted again. He is my son, and my friend, and my United States Marine.

I miss throwing the ball around and going to the football field. I miss the way we used to correct each other. I miss ALL the stuff we used to do. J.R. Wright Proud Marine Brother of Cpl Daron Wright ************************************************************************************************************************** I miss his orneriness I miss the cute way he would roll his eyes at me when he was upset with me (LOL). miss picking on him every day I miss calling the house every day and hearing his voice. I miss our brother/sister discussions (sometimes called arguments) I miss Mom making us hug and make up�he was always so cute when he was mad (LOL). I miss the serious look on his face when he would see a pretty girl. I miss his presence, but most of all� I miss HIM and being able to see him on a daily basis. Me and my brother used to not get along at all, we were so very different that we couldn't get along, but every since he went into the Marines it was like he felt better about himself and it made it where he felt better towards every one else. ou know that saying you don't know what you got until it's gone. I know he's not gone forever, but since we can't spend every day together arguing, now we spend the time we have on positive things. I am very proud of my brother, Cpl Daron Wright. Breanna Wright Proud Marine Sister of Cpl Daron Wright ************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my marine...is that when he came home at 2 am I used to get up and we would talk about everything. I miss his smile, his hugs, his laugh and the way he says "I love you momma". I miss him stopping by work with a rose to say hi and borrow $10.00. I miss me getting so mad at him I could choke him and he would just stand there, smiling. Peggy Foster proud mom of Cpl Baker, Okinawa ************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine ..... I think what I miss the most about my Marine is him not being able to share his day with me when he comes home. Before he left for boot camp he could come home after work or being out and we would talk about what happened in his day, good and bad. I also miss the "family" dinners we would have almost every night where we would talk about things that were happening, what was coming up the next day and what his friends were doing. I also miss telling him good night before he went to sleep every night. From the time he was a little guy, I would tuck him in and kiss him on the forehead. One time I remember when he thought he was too old to be tucked in any more. He was a junior in high school and decided he was too old for Mom to do that any more. Well, that lasted about a week and one night after he had gone to bed he came out and said well, aren't you going to tuck me in? I never told him that he was the one who was too old for that, but from then on I "tucked him in" every night. When he was a senior in high school and was out late I would sometimes lay down and sorta sleep while waiting for him to come home. One of the rules in our house was that you always let us know when you are home. That way if I should fall asleep I wouldn't wake up and wonder where he was. When I did this he would come and tuck me in at night, kiss me on the forehead and tell me good night. Even now when he comes home on leave I "tuck him in" every night. Those are the things that I miss the most. With our grandchildren we have kept up the tradition of "tucking" them into bed each night that they stay with us.
