The world is spinning 100 mph and I am standing still....waiting..

I am leaving very early with my son Brad and his dad....

To see my Marine arrive Sunday morning...

I can't even express how I am feeling right now....

Wow..finally this deployment is over and done....




My is pounding so fast and hard.....

Thank God he is coming home safe....

All my Love to those who have their kids and spouses and other families still there...I haven't forgotten any of you....

well I guess I'm on my own here...

Thats ok...

Cause all I want is to be with my son...

Support our troops....

they lay their lives down..at risk..for all of us...for our freedom..

and our safety....their safety is in question....

Semper FI...

I'm glad your boy is coming home to you safely Zanne.


Every mum's hope...

I am glad for you it is over.

Zanne, my thought and prayers are with you and your family, thanking him for bringing your son home safely.. Enjoy!

Thank you Jesse and Mssilverfox....ur support means so much..

This is the best time in in the past 8+ months..

Bothe my sons left at the same time..

1 to Iraq..and 1 to college..

Now they are both coming home..at the same time...

Thank you both... huge hugs to u both...

Although I am against war, and have always been quite vocal about it...

My son did a six month tour of Iraq last year...his field is Intel/recon.... so it's secret squirrel stuff...

it was a looooooong six months....


From mother to mother.... you have been through what we would never wish to have to go through...

I'm so happy for you that he is coming home!!!

tell him thank you and god bless and welcome home

Semper Fi

Now I don't know what is going on..

First i was told of the exact day he would arrive..

now I am being told we will be told 72 hrs prior.

So...we either go..and he won't be there..or we don't go and he ends up being there. Cause the 72 hr time would be when we would be on the road...

I just wish things could be concrete....it certainly was when he was deployed...coming home is a whole different story.....

My happy bubble has just been crushed....I'm afraid things aren't gona go as planned...

I just want to see and hold my son....

I'm going to work..takes my mind off everything..

Have a great day everyone....

Semper Fi! Bring him home momma! I am so happy for you! I know it have been a stressful and trying time! *big hugs*

Congrats on getting him home.

I've never been to Iraq but my partner just came back (and left again) and said that when they catch fire, the Army rolls out with the rest of the convoy and leaves them sitting there. The MARINES roll up circling the wagons around them and kill the guys shooting. Funny to hear an old hard core biker say how much he LOVES the Marines, but I understand the sentiment.

Zanne, good for you.
VERY glad your son is home.
You will have mail.

Let him know there is a whole nation of people that love him, and are overjoyed he is home and safe.

amen to that

I am happy for you that your son is coming home.

Congrats on his safe return

Tell ur jarhead that this ole wingnut appreciates his service.

From one mother to another, my son is gettin ready to be deployed any advice?

thats the military for ya. they like to watch us civilians run around like chickens with our heads cut off.

regardless to how or when ... just keep tellin yourself he'll be on US soil ... near you.
