| Some things I am missing right now are: Listening to the foot steps on the stairs and trying to guess who it is. I only have two sons. Now it can only be one. Answering the phone only to hear " Hey Mama Dukes " followed some other silly comment which probably makes no sense, but always makes me laugh. Listening to him answer the phone with "Crazy house, Which nut would you like to speak with?" or some other not so conventional greeting. Having him come home and say " Can you help me understand women? What did I do wrong?" As we all know he will never completely understand his girl friend. Listening to him recite word for word lines out of movies or songs. As you can tell he loves to have fun and make people laugh. That is what I miss most. His incredible sense on humor. Thanks for asking. Sounds like a great idea. Can't wait to read the comments. Susan. Proud Mom of RCT Dempsey. He left on June 11th, so I still have a long way to go. ************************************************************************************* What I miss most about my Marine.............is hearing his laughter fill the house & those goodbye hugs everytime he left the house......I think what I miss the MOST about my Marine is his childhood. I had a VERY hard time letting go! I just didn't want his childhood to be over not yet anyway! Thanks for asking. Kathy *********************************************************************************************************************** What I miss most about my Marines is his hugs. He used to hug me every morning before school, when he came home after school, and at least twice more before going to bed. When he would hug me I would fee like at that moment the world would stop and both of our troubles would go away. It felt like if he needed a hug i would be there and vica versa. Hope this makes sense Ruth Proud Parent of LCPL Christopher Best, Okinawa *********************************************************************************************************************** His Nana misses "HIM" being able to talk and get an answer immediately!!!!! His Mom misses most is his messes and him saying "I'm going to Scott's." Also probably most his cooking he is a better cook them me and loves to cook. Sara Jean PROUDEST KY MOM OF LCpl David Goodwin Camp Pendleton Ca *********************************************************************************************************************** WHAT I MISS MOST ABOUT MY MARINE .... I MISS HIS PRETTY BLUE EYES HIS ONCE BLUE, NOW BLACK AGAIN HAIR HIS STRONG OPINIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD THINK AND THE BATTLE OF WITS WE WOULD UNINTENTIONALLY PLAY SOME MIGHT CALL IT ARGUING AND TALKING BACK. I REALLY MISS HIM THE PERSON... WE WOULD ARM WRESTLE UNTIL HE GOT TO THE AGE AND STRENGTH I KNEW I COULD NOT WIN. I NEVER LOSE TO THEM INTENTIONALLY. I MISS NOT BEING THERE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM WHEN HE IS SICK OR INJURED OR TO FIX HIM SOMETHING SPECIAL TO EAT. A MANGO IN THE STORE REMINDS ME OF MY MARINE, THE U.S. FLAG, SEEING HIS CAR PARKED IN THE YARD WITHOUT HIM DRIVING AWAY . NOW I'M REALLY MISSING MY FIRST BORN... GOD BLESS THE MARINE CORPS AND MMO LINDA PMO OF PFC FLETCHER LINTON, PENSACOLA NAS AND ALBERT AND JEFF *********************************************************************************************************************** WHAT I MISS MOST ABOUT MY MARINE IS HIS WONDERFUL SMILE. I WISH EVRYONE COULD SEE IT. I ALSO MISS OUR TALKS. HE IS ALWAYS WILLING TO SIT AND TALK ABOUT ANYTHING, AND MOST OF ALL I MISS HIM COMING HOME, COMING UP THE STAIRS AND YELLING HEY MOM I'M HOME. I JUST MISS HIM AND I WANT HIM BACK HOME. THANKS FOR LISTENING PROUD MARINE MOM OF MARINE TOM KOPACZ(PLT 3070) *********************************************************************************************************************** What I miss the most about my Marine is when he would just drop into my office or stop by my home to just be "mothered". He would need hugs, and he would need to see my smile, and I would need his hugs and I would need to see his smile. Too much time has passed without those two key ingredients. This is what I miss the most about my Marine. Proud mother of Recruit Busbhy, Ryan graduating July 6th MCRD SD And boy, I cannot wait to see his smile and feel that hug. *********************************************************************************************************************** Hugs.....given "Just Because" (not like now when they are given because.....I haven't seen you in awhile or because I won't see you for awhile - I wouldn't trade any of these but "Just Because" hugs are the best). And talks, long face to face talks about anything and everything, right before bedtime when the house is quiet and there is no interruption. Clutter - you know, things like shoes in the middle of the floor, socks on the floor in a different room and fishing and hunting gear by the front door. And just being able to see those smiling blue eyes looking back at me.What I miss most about my Marine is his wonderful sense of humor, the way he always makes me smile or laugh...he truly does brighten even the most dreary day, maybe it's those beautiful bright blue eyes!
