| Daron, every day I miss you more. I am proud of the man you have become, but always remember that while you are a United States Marine, you will always be, in my heart, my little boy. I Love You, Son !!! Mom Brenda Wright Proud Marine Mom of LCpl Daron Wright **************************************************************************************************************************** **************************************************************************************************************************** What i miss about my Marine is....hearing the word mom, i love you, cuttin up, joking around, hanging out watching mtv, when he would go off with his boys he always called alot and asked what cha doing and just talking. waking up in the mornings and knowing he was in his bed. and seeing that beautiful smile only "brandon" can smile. but am soooo proud of my Marine, because I know this is what he wanted, and like always "MOM" is standing beside her MARINE.!! I forgot to say that i miss the hugs, & the kisses on the cheek.but all in all I MISS HEARING HIS VOICE. I hope this is not to long, but needed to let out a few tears, thank you again brenda, and tell your "MARINE" thank you also for that note to us moms. take care. love tammy proud mom of PFC.Blakley **************************************************************************************************************************** I miss his smile, I miss his laugh, I miss his jokes, I miss him! I miss the way he use to come up and give me a hug and say hey mom I love you! I miss the way he use to scratch my back when he wanted something! I miss him fighting with his brother, I miss having to tell him to be home! I miss him deeply, I miss having to tell him to turn down his TV, But I am very PROUD that he chose to be a Marine! Proud Mother of a Marine: Geneva *************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine is his contagious laughter and generous spirit of helping others. Sincerely, Ann **************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marine John is him not being here everday. I miss his smile his hugs and him curling up on the other end of the couch with me when we watch tv. I miss his smile and those big puppy dog brown eyes of his. I miss his gentleness towards the handicapped, the elderly or the misfortunate and his toughness toward the rest of the world. I miss the long conversations and laughs we had. I miss him doing the dishes...lol. I miss his smell and him preening in front of the mirror for hours to get ready for someplace. I miss his comming home and hollering where are ya mom. I miss him hanging out at our house with all his friends, the door slamming constantly. I miss his smell...even those nasty stinky sneakers! (boy am I bad!) I could go on but I think you get the point here. thanks cindy pmo of Lcpl John Bunt **************************************************************************************************************************** One of the things I miss most is sitting on the sofa with David's head in my lap and rubbing/scratching his back and head, and quietly talking. I miss kissing him, telling him good night and sweet dreams, and that I love him." And that just started me crying again. Dear Heavenly Father, keep our young Marines in your loving embrace and Safe from harm. Amen. Nancy Landgrebe PROUD MOM of Rct Landgrebe David J **************************************************************************************************************************** what I miss most is his laughter heard throughout the house. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is constantly making everyone laugh. I really miss his laugh. I miss his joking around and just having a good time. Honestly, as silly as this sounds, I also miss all the little messes he left laying around that i had to pick up. Without these little messes I know he's really gone. I love my son and miss him dearly. I'm so very proud he's a marine though. belinda hughes Proud Mom of PFC Cox, James **************************************************************************************************************************** What I Miss Most About My Marine is giving him a big kiss and hug when he gets up in the morning. MMO Lorry Kurylo Illinois Proud Mom of LCpl Kurylo, Keith **************************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my marine is a can't feel his arms give me that big bear hug and not matter how upset I would get with him he would turn on those puppy dog eyes and reply "Mom, I love you". If that didn't get him out of a sticky situation I don't know what would. To hear his voice over the phone makes my heart yearn to sit next to him and talk to him. I miss his smile and I even miss him asking for gas money. He is turning into a wonderful young man but there are times I want him back. I want him back in my home so we can laugh together and talk about all his mischief as a small child. I miss his humor and his ability to bring everyone up that is down. I miss his hugs when I've had a bad day or I need support in a difficult time. I miss the times when Michael was little and I watched on Christmas day as he tried to fit himself into a Matchbox car. He couldn't understand why he wouldn't fit in the door. I miss him thinking a was the most wonderful and that he someday was going to marry me. I miss having him snuggle in my lap and tell me "just hold me forever". Well I am trying to hold him forever but he is now growing into a man and he still wants me nearby but he doesn't want me to hold him forever. I have had Michael for 20 years and just letting him go so far from home has been one of the most difficult points in my life. I worry if more than 2-3 days go by and I have not heard from him. I miss Michael constantly and will share that miss with his fianc� when they get married in December. I know Michael knows how much he is missed and loved by both of us and I know that he misses us too. I am sure someday he feels he could ask again "Just hold me forever". If he was to ask I would tell him that I would hold him for awhile but he has grown too much to hold forever. I love you Michael and I miss you more than I can put into words.
