Well, Mike has been gone about a month now. It's hard to believe. I miss him very much, but I am adjusting.
If any of you have wondered about me, I have had my own navy orders to deal with. I just got back. Flower was VERY happy to see me. I am still recovering from the lack of sleep and intense days of navy training, and not really wanting to go back to the real job tomorrow.
I just wanted to let everyong know that Mike is still gone, life still crazy. I get asked a lot what can people do to help. So I am making a suggestion here.
1) Contact your local reserve center and see if there is anything they need (VFWs, etc, also are doing a lot to help). Navy facilities should have an ombudsman that can point you in the right direction, and every state now has a central contact point for the national guard that is overseeing the distribution of such things...
One of the things that is really needed (aside from sunscreen, etc) is calling cards so the soldiers and sailors can call their loved ones.
If anyone wants a complete list or help with a contact, email me privately and I'll hook you up (this is a great way for people to get involved).
Please keep the members of our armed services in your thoughts and prayers. We just started planning a holiday party for the families where parents are deployed. It's really depressing (did I say I miss Mike?) I'm really excited cause I think I can see him this weekend.
Well, let me know if you want to help....
