| Brenda, where do i begin as there is so much but here goes. What i miss most about my Marine is her ability to light a room just by entering it, and her love for her family her hugs are not just a squeeze but a genuine take your breath away hug, her beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes,i miss her spontanaiety, determination, sense of humor, I MISS HER! Semper Fi Pam **************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most, gosh, there is so much: I miss the pounding of his footsteps coming up the stairs and the huge smile he gives me after he slams the door! I miss him making macaroni and cheese and leaving a mess. I miss him sitting on my bed, at 2 a.m. to let me know he is home and safe. I miss his hugs and the occasional kiss on the forehead I used to get. I miss his laughter and all his friends coming in and out. Gee, I could go on forever but I'll stop now. Thanks for making me take the time and think about these things. Sometimes, we push these thoughts back because we don't want to feel the emptiness without them. But I'm glad you did. Sincerely and Semper Fi Valerie **************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine is: My Marine, and I were a family-just the two of us. His older brother lived with his dad and at the time, I hadn't remarried. We had little sayings, like all families do, that were funny just because we knew where they came from and the circumstances behind them. This is the thing I miss most-just the private jokes and funnies. Like going in the post office, seeing a man whose pants were a little droopy bent down to get his mail out of his box ( you know, the plumber pants with t shirt that didn't go down far enough) and he would look at me and say "Just say no to crack". And, if he was afraid someone would hear him and be hurt or offended, we could just look at each other and know that he was saying it in his mind and laugh. That is just one example of hundreds, if not thousands, of funnies we shared and I doubt I will ever have as many with anyone else. We practically grew up together, and while we have always been mother and son, not best friends, he is truly one of my very best friends. I am not embarressed to do anything around him. He makes me feel like a 10 year old kid. I love that, and miss that. (names omitted upon request) **************************************************************************************************************** Brenda, after having my son home for the last few days (since 6/8) I am really wondering what I missed about him being gone-I guess the most missed is my 20y/o Marine sitting in my lap even when he visits me at work and I work at a community college in the bookstore and there is lots of girls coming in! They think he is so sweet!!!! He is very loving and I miss the hugs and kisses every night! I don't miss the girls calling all hours and asking is Nick home? Where is he? When will he be back? Like I'm his social secretary!! Well, I do like one or two of them-but hey! I am driving him to Camp Geiger on Sunday he has to be there on Tuesday and I have to be back at work Tuesday morning so this is the only way I can spend quality time without him getting a phone call!! The cell phone is off limits!! Ask me again next week what I miss and it will probably be different. Vicki Proud Mom of PVT Nick Holloway his big brother, and wife of Mike! **************************************************************************************************************** This is what I miss most about my Marine: I miss his smile, his voice on the phone, he always came over nearly every Sunday afternoon for dinner Genene of MI **************************************************************************************************************** There are many things I miss about my Marine. But most of all is the bond him and I have. No matter what mood I am in he always makes me laugh�even if he did something to make me mad. I have a very close relationship with my son. A lot of my friends and family remark about it. He tells me everything (even some things I don't want to know!!!). Chris sent me a birthday card and on it wrote "Mom, you're one of my best friends". I love him and miss him terribly, but I know that he LOVES being a Marine. And I love being a Marine Mom! Debbie Proud Marine Mom **************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine is his beautiful blue eyes and how you could look at them and know that he wanted to go somewhere or a big favor from his sister. I would give anything to see him coming down the stairs with those blue eyes giving me the look. God Bless, Rhonda Proud Mom of PFC.
