Together Always
and Pride
| SHORT POST - I just got off the phone with Vinny. I'm sitting at the Radisson in Memphis, My eyes feel like I have laid face down in a sand pit. I didn't bring my computer but found one here in the hotel. So I log on and let me tell y'all I'm feeling the love and prayers here. Y'all are soooooo very wonderful! I am having a really hard time. I'm going to make a few blog rounds tonight. I will post more from the hotel in Pulaski on Tuesday night. A very HUGE THANK YOU to each and every one of you. I love all y'all so much. |

post a commentStay strong, Dixie. We're all thinking of you and praying for you and sending you lots of hugs.
I won't deny that it will be tough since he can't contact you, but know that you have given him the strength and courage he needs to make it through these next 12 weeks, strong enough to come out the other side having earned the right to call himself "Marine."
Semper Fi, Dixie.
I thank you again for raising a son who has chosen to serve his country in the military.
OH darlin' you and Matt and Kaitlin and Tony all deserve the praise and love.
Dixie, I don't doubt this is going to be the toughest moment in your life. God bless you and keep you in his peace!!!
~~~Blessings~~~
Know I'm there with you, and I love you Sis.
Just close your eyes and feel the hug.
Hi Dixie. Just wanted to drop by and show some friendly blogger love. I've been seeing posts about you all over the blogosphere. I just want you to know that you are in my prayers and I am sending lots of good thoughts your way. Hold your head up high, Dixie because you've raised an awesome young man. I just want to say "THANK YOU" to you and his service.
♥ Tisha of Crazy Working Mom
(((((((Hugs)))))))
Oh Dixie I miss you and it is so true...can't you just feel so many people lifting you and Matt up their thoughts and prayers?
I was so suprised when I heard from you this morning.
Hugs and smoochies Dixie lady!!
You will do fine. as will he. Be strong!
Take pride in that fine young man you raised lady, you have given a gift to America, I will be one to thank you for sharing your Marine with us.
I can't imagine, as the mother of two boys myself, what you must be feeling... but I'm incredibly sure that PRIDE comes into play, along with the understandable reservations.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your brave, noble young man.
(((hugs)))
I'll be thinking of you today... smmmmooooches and hugs :-)
Hang in there Dixie and Cheers!!
We love you back!

Oh, and I'm here via Sparky Duck :P

"Raise up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it," Proverbs 22:6
You have done this exact thing and even though letting go is the hardest thing a Mom can ever do, I know that Matt will do you proud in all things and in all ways even more so than he has done already.
I can't wait to see pictures of him in his uniform though not as much as you I'm sure! It may not seem like it, but these next weeks will pass quickly and when Matt emerges from Parris Island a United States Marine you are going to be the proudest Mom on the planet and deservedly so!
Hang in there, Dixie, and know that we love you and admire both you and Matt for his service and for your willingness to let him follow his heart. It's hard but you're doing it!
Big hugs to you Dixie...
:blush:
We try...
Hugs and kisses!
Hugsies and kissies...am thinking of you and Matt. The love between you and Matt will carry you to the day you will watch his graduation from Boot Camp. We're with you all the way...
Everything will be fine, if not easy but fine. Starr reminded me of the rule of 3 and it will work out great for you
