| What I miss most about my Marine is� ....hearing him sing the alphabet in Elmo's voice (from Sesame Street!). ....watching him eat 4 PBJ's 15 minutes before dinner, then eating a full meal. ....not having an excuse to have Dryers Vanilla Bean ice cream in the freezer. ....not hearing "I love you Mom!" as he heads out the door with the keys to MY car because his is out of gas. ....listening to him talk in his sleep about rabbits and space men (I feel for his bunk mates on the USS Boxer!) ....being able to tell him "I'm so proud of you" in person so he can see it in my eyes. Semper Fi Joan Thompson Alaska MMO and proud mom of Cpl Ryan Thompson somewhere in the Persian Gulf with the 11th MEU(SOC) on the USS Boxer **************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine is...." His voice. He would always ask me each afternoon "How was your day today Mom?" and would really be interested. I miss hearing the sound of him tossing his keys on the kitchen counter when he came home. I miss his wonderful sense of humor and jokes. I miss the way he always had a hug or kiss for his mom. I miss the friendship of my son.

Annonymous **************************************************************************************************************************** Hi I'd be glad to help out. "What I miss most about my Marine is... his smiles, hugs, and sense of humor. He was always the most sensitive and sharing of my 3 children. (He's my middle one.) Hope this helps. Best wishes and Semper Fi! Diana PMM of LCpl Philip A Huniak **************************************************************************************************************************** "What I miss most about my Marine"....I miss the phone calls asking us to "call her back"--and the instant messages when we both couldn't sleep in the middle of the night!" Carole proud Mom of Rct. Sarah Gunn--grad -July 20,2001 **************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine : I miss his happy, vibrant personality that filled our home. His joking and poking fun at everyone, even when it would get out of hand, and you would want to hit him! He has left quite a void here in our home, even with 3 children still here. We miss him terribly and are looking forward to seeing him again. Luckily, we will have him after his schooling because he joined the reserves and not the active like his older brother. But if he changes his mind and does join the active that would be fine if it's what he really wants. Sorry for going on like this, I hope I answered your question ok. Tricia (PMM of LCpl Gregory Thomas and Rec Patrick Thomas) **************************************************************************************************************************** Hard to put into one sentence - but the "daily" contact is what I miss most - just having him around. He's such a comfort to me! Semper Fidelis Susan, Carrollton, TX Very Proud Mom of LCPL Chris Dorward Camp Pendleton, MOS � NBC **************************************************************************************************************************** haa, such a question "What I miss most about my Marine is his smile, his laugh, the hugs, his voice, his baby blues and hey mom what's for supper? I could go on and I'm sure you'll get alot. Thanks for asking, Beth Proud mom of PFC Woodard Joshua, MOS Motor Veh Op in Missouri **************************************************************************************************************************** He has the ability to replace the worst frown or tears with a smile.Nobody is a stranger around Andy and he is never a stranger to any situation. He's a great group cheer leader. He has an excellent sense of rythym and loves to dance. He has this little 2-step that he does to his Latino music. In fact, he was asked to join Culturas Unidas...a Mexican dance troupe where they learn dances from the different parts of the country and travel in 150-mile radius. They even do an Aztec sacrifice and Aztec dances. He can grito so good too. Micasa **************************************************************************************************************************** Brenda, I don't know how I could possibly put everything I miss about my son down in one writing. TK is the baby, he has 2 older brothers by 10 & 8 years, so TK was like an only child. I miss just seeing him walk from room to room, going to the refrigerator, feeling his plate to the brim at meals, watching him work on his truck, watching him horse around with his dad, seeing his smile, walking into his room just to talk with him, seeing him get excited about something he saw or read, seeing him as he sleeps and listening as be breaths, hearing his laughter, I miss waking up early in the morning (1-2a.m) and going and opening the door to his bedroom just to make sure he made it home OK, seeing him as walks out the door to go on a date and looking back and saying "love you mom, see you later", I just miss everything about him, but most of all I miss being able just to spending time with him and not even a word needing to be said, just sitting in the same room and knowing each other is there. Now I will stop and go get my Kleenex. God bless you. Robbie, Ocoee, FL Proud mom of Cpl Edwards, Thompson K. |
