The legend goes that one must climb Mt Fuji or they will return to Japan.  Our daughter climbed the mountain twice just to make sure.  While in the area don't miss Kamakura Shrine......................

Drew7062: My son loves it so far! I know he has been to Tokyo for fun. Also, he loves the food in Japan, but not so much the food on the ship
They will help him get a phone mostly we FaceTime and text (make sure to turn on iMessage)

Vicky: hi my son just got to Yokosuka Japan last week. How has it been going for your son. I'm happy for my son but I hate he went so far away
:-(.
Does your son like it? And what does he do. Did the rank him up yet, I have so many questions. Lol.. Does he have a cell phone and how do you talk to him.

My son has been in yokosuka Japan since May. I am thinking about visiting him during the holidays. Any advice with planning this trip? Airline? What airport should we fly into? Where to stay?

HI Peachy :),

 This is normal:

1. For your sailor NOT to always be able to reach you by email, phone, skype or even snail mail. There has been at times many moms here who have not heard fro their sailors for months. And I mean months. There is so much he could be doing on ship or port or studying - etc - that he honestly has not time to make contact. Just hang on - you are on the Pan mom Emotional Roller Coaster ride. WE are right beside you.

2 And two, it is totally normal and OK to feel what you are feeling. WE all do - even when our sailors are stationed here on US soil. Its a Military Mom thing. For our sailors are NOT off to college - like others ( family and friends) might tell you. So it's ok .

Sending gentle hugs to you.

So get back on - and Jump into the Water! ( Share gossip)

Sometimes getting on and talking about yourself - your sailor or just anything - helps to ease some feelings. And personally, my gossip tank is low.

So check in all - I need some gossip.

Have to get - Laundry Fairy visit is still going on.

Wish all a nice evening hugs

HI everyone. I love reading everything you guys post. It lets me feel connected to something bigger and know there is someone who has or is going through what I am. 

I am having a rough time. My sailor hasn't been in contact with me. He last sent an email saying he would speak to me in a week or so on 8/4. So, Can this be normal, should I cam down and stop imagining him sick or hurt?

He is onboard the USS BlueRidge, has been for a year and a half. Typically he never goes more than 3 weeks without contact. I am making myself sick with this.

HI

Well, I am not tickled pink. The dentist thought I was just kidding. He then stated - maybe next time. I almost replied Hell NO, but bit my tongue and said: thank you but no. I really never  ever want a next time.

Miss - so glad to see you  back and what a fun time you had, any pics to share? And some of your new cabinets too.

Nice poem Jesusintheboat. thanks for sharing.

Here it is a rainy day - so getting to see this Super Full Moon is a no. I am bumped a bit, I think it would be Golden in color. The start of harvesting is happening and that full moon is always golden.

Finally heard form my sailor :). He just had to turn in his Harley of three months. Its only problem - it was too small. Really? Too small ? Wouldn't you think he would have  figured that one out when buying it? So he sent a pic of the new BIGGER one. And it matches the color of his truck - black. I asked for a pic of him on it. Still waiting. Bet I get one of his foot on the bike.

Need to get - the Laundry Fairy is visiting. Plus I have to watch out for Shark. She is on a major walk about. If anything gets in her way - she climbs over it. Just want a need, a turtle with attitude.

Have a great weekend all hugs

Good morning, "Pan Moms"!  I have been reading, but not much time to update.   My 3 sisters and I went to my daughter's this past weekend.  We had more fun than should have been allowed.  One sister commented that we had laughed from the time we left Iuka till we got back, and no alcohol was involved!  We did have a really good time, and my sweet daughter kept telling us that we were about to wear her down!  LOL!  I asked her Sunday morning if she was ready for us to leave? She said, "no Mom, I am never ready for you to leave, but a much needed nap is in my future"!  We did work on planning my Mom's 85th birthday celebration. Now we have to get started.  Hubby stayed home and worked on my new kitchen cabinets.  

Hope all is well with everyone, and that you all have a blessed day.

I held him as an infant; I hugged him as a boy and through the years he has become my greatest pride and joy.

I love him more than I can say, his life more precious than mine own, but gone are the whims and notions of the little boy I had known

For the years have passed so quickly since the time it all began and now he stands before me with the conviction of a man.

He wants to serve his country , he states aloud with pride as I try to sort out the emotions I'm feeling deep inside...a union of the uncertain fear, which I cannot control and the allegiance which lies deep within my patriotic soul.

I trust that my years of guidance will serve as a strong foundation as he performs the duties requested from his beloved nation.

God please guide him as he travels to the places our soldiers have bled and walk with him through pathways where those heroes' feet have tread.

O Sweet Land of Liberty , humbly I give you my son, praying you'llreturn him safely home when his work for you is done.
