   Thank you for letting us view these photos. We think we found our daughter's photos and this brought a lot of joy to our lonely evening. We are still undergoing daughter withdrawal. Thank you for your excellent site. You obviously enjoy doing this, so don't let the few ruin it for everyone, please.

   Hi Lori - thank you for the site... My son left for Parris Island on 10/26 and I can't wait to hear from him. After his scripted phone call - I have written 2 letters to him.. but am missing him terribly... being a young mom - he was not only my son but my buddy too.. oh well! Please tell me where can I find pictures of his platoon (if and when) they are posted - he's with the 2nd battalion - Echo company. His graudation will be 1/22.
   
   Thank you so much again for the wonderful site - I'm still trying to learn how to navigate within it!!
   
   Regards - Namita

   Thanks so much for having this site for us! I feel so helpless at the moment. My son just left October 19th for boot camp and this has really helped me. Just having information from others helps me deal with everything and lets me know that I am not alone! :)

   Bless you for setting this up. I have a strong local Marine Moms support group and they told me about this site. It is helping me so much to get through these first days and weeks since my son left for PI. I know it's going to be my lifeline for the next 13 weeks!

   Lori,
   
   I believe my wife Michelle may have spoken to you a week or two ago. We're trying to find out if we can post under your "Houses to Rent" category as we have 3 houses that are set up for Military Families and 3 day stays for graduation. Do you have any other suggestions as to where we can get the word out to families, we've been doing this for about a year and have many repeat graduating families (several siblings/grands, etc.) but still have plenty of vacancy and much prefer them occupied.
   
   
   VRBO #130192 is a 3bedroom 2 bath brick home on Ribaut Rd. which is less than 1/2 mile from the PI gate - directly across the river as you can watch cars on PI causeway for our dock/ observation platform.
   
   #178963 & 181371 are both 3 bedroom 2 bath homes about 4-5 miles away behind Vaden Chevrolet on 21. Linda & Joanne Streets. They are actually CONNECTED by a large enclosed swimming pool enclosure so they make for great BIG Family Groups.

    Hi Lori,
    
    Thank you for getting in touch with me. This process of not speaking to my son for 13 weeks is the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. I know he is good hands, is safe and being taken care of, however as a mom you feel out of control. I can't wait to see him in November. I have three children. A daughter 23, just married in July, A son who will be 21 in October who is away at college and my 18 who is in boot camp. They all left within 2 months. My husband of 25+ years and I found ourselves empty-nesters. We are currently looking into getting a dog.....I need something to mother. lol. Once gain thanks.

    Lori,
    
    Thank you for the second best blessing I could get! The first of course will be when we see our son again. I am so excited and was sharing the great news today including son's friends mom who is also in Golf Co. A new friend told me about the site and her son is also a ex Golf Co, Marine. :-) He has just been deployed again.
    I have been waiting all day to get back on here and I am so excited.
    Thank you again, wish I had found sooner but excited to have this now. God Bless you. I have seen how much it has helped so many people.
    Ashtin's mom,
