I'm so sorry about the surgery bit in my message to you. I'm just confused because it was another friend's mom who was having surgery. My apologies. I hope you're doing well & it is so good hearing from you.

Hello & How are you? I really hope your Mom's surgery went well! I'm sure it's difficult that you are't able to be with her. We're hoping to travel to Alaska next Summer. It would be awesome if I could meet you then. :) Thank you for being so kind. I will keep you & your Anthony in my prayers. It's true the not knowing what is next (after basic) is unsettling for us Moms. I'm here for you. Us military moms are all in this together. :)

Hi Lore, thank you so much for your note. My son will be graduating on Jan. 23 so, unfortuately, they probably did not meet. What will your son graduate as...my son, Fran, is in Infantry and possibly Airborne. We are so lucky to have such great sons. Please keep me informed as to your son's progress.

Thanks for the invite--I hope it goes through:-)
