my sailor was not happy to have to go underway again         i think sleeping on the ship again was bothering her          she works on it everyday       i reminded her it is a short trip and to take lots of pictures

Yea my daughter has an apartment too! Unfortunate circumstances brought me to New York for my dad and auntie's funeral. Then I took my daughter to VA and we boarded the ship! It was at night but it was still cool. I feel better because I got to meet her room mates. Then we drove home to Colorado. The rental van I racked up 4 thousand miles.
So a few days in sea again. But not nearly like a deployment. She wil;l be tied to this ship for her contract so I'll be around.

My daughter is offically a vet now.. So I will be leaving  some of the Navy groups.. This one for sure. My son -in-law is soon to be a Marine vet. and they are coming home. to live. They will be here mid June. A big plus for me, since they have been on the East Coast and I  am on the West Coast. My 19 mos. grandson convinced his parents to move home to be closer to his Grammie. lol. I have enjoyed being here with all of you.. Best of luck to the families and sailors who remain on the Kearsarge.

Homecoming was definetly a memorable experience. We gave my daughter just a days rest and then had to go up to Gloucester, MA on business so took my daughter and son in law along. Caught a Sox game last night at Fenway and heading back to VA later today. Home to WI on Wed. Will be praying for the Marine and all those from the ship for an easy adjustment back to a more normal life. I have enjoyed being part of this group. Daughter is detaching from the ship in June and next assignment is being an instructor in Everett, WA so they will be moving. Godspeed to all!

One of my son's Marine Kearsarge friends got sick aboard ship and lost a lot of weight.  Upon return, he has learned that he has lymphoma and has already had his first chemo.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Thank you sissi! That is so awesome you got to see my daughter. I only wished I was there too. We won't even see her till the 31st this month but I'm glad our sailors are getting long leaves. Well Thanks again everyone!
