Being able to talk to him whenever I feel like it or need to or going to lunch with him.

Keri Lentz Proud & loving mom of LCpl Rick Lentz, currently aboard the USS Kearsarge, 24th MEU. ****************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my marine is the way he would grab my cheeks in both hands and say "puffy cheeks" I hated it at the time, but I sure wouldn't mind it now. Hope this is what you wanted as ridiculus as it is. Susan in Rhode Island ****************************************************************************************************************************** The thing i miss the most with my marine she is one of my best friends and its hard not to be able to just sit and talk for a couple of hours every day.

Nate Rogers Proud mom of Jon Power, Photographer ****************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine is..... His teasing smile. Margie Bourgoin Proud Mom of PFC Sean Bourgoin ****************************************************************************************************************************** My Marine is first a son then a Marine. Vincent and I have a very special bond. He always knows without words just what I need. Be it a hug, a smile, a kind word or a scripture lecture =o}. The same goes for me. I always know just what he needs. Both of us sometimes before we even know what we need. Vincent is not my friend. Vincent is my flesh and blood. My son. Neither of us would want it any other way. We both have friends. What I need is a son who loves me. Vincent needs a Mom that loves him. A Mom he can come to talk with about anything and not have to worry that he will have trouble about any topic. Vincent does know and he does come to me. I miss not having Vincent around to sit and talk to and with. I miss the quick kiss and good-bye be back around....... However I would not want to alter his life in any way. I AM VERY PROUD THAT MY MARINE HAS CHOSEN TO PROTECT ALL OF MY FREEDOMS AND ALL OF YOURS!!! In a world so filled with strife and conflict that was not an easy choice to make. It took a lot of prayer before he made that commitment and from then on he has neither looked back nor regretted his choice. If I needed to sum up all of the above I would have to say........ What I Miss The Most About My Marine is...... Not having my son back until his commitment is finished for this country. PMM Sally Jane, TX ****************************************************************************************************************************** I feel like that question could take me on and on...I have to say that I miss the young, boyish charm - the smiles, gestures, his view on things (though often I didn't agree), the phone ringing (yes - the phone - never thought I'd say that two years ago!!), the parade of friends always coming to the door or driving in to see if he's home. It's true that you never miss what you have until it's gone...even his music blasting.....his laughter and sighs....And most of all I miss the sweet hugs (when no one was looking of course). That has changed, I must say since he's been home on leave as of yesterday! He has given me as many as I've given him this time around.... He's home until July 5, THEN I'll be missing every cell and the very essence of his body and being once again.....I even hug his bath towel...is this a terminal illness????!!! I'd love to read your responses - it's comforting to know there are others out there with this hole in their heart.... Thanks for asking. Hugs Janet � Hampton, NH Proud Mom of PFC Daniel Towle, Camp Pendleton, CA ****************************************************************************************************************************** His big heart and character Cheri ****************************************************************************************************************************** his smile, his humor, and the filling of the empty place he leaves in my heart..each time we say goodbye..my son ..my heart..
