Today was it. Where we had to be up and on the road by 6.30 am as we had to be in Sydney before 8.30am – we actually arrived just around 8.10am!! Finally got to somewhere on time….guess it was because of how important today was.
Saying Goodbye And I Forgot ::
We all thought that our older son was on duty this morning and that we would not spend much time with him…..guess I got that wrong too! We actually got a tour of the Ship and got to spend the time with him, but I Forgot.
The most important thing ever…..
I forgot to tell him that I love him.
The most important thing a Mother can ever say to their Child….that is what I forgot to say when I gave him a huge hug goodbye.
And I am not sure how I will stop the “Shit Lisa, why couldn’t you get that right” talk happening.
So he is gone for seven months out at Sea, and I sure hope he realises that I love him so very much….
A Last Hug From Cameron and Kyle ~
actually I think they gave him more after this Photo was taken 🙂
While Cameron Was Sitting Down ~
This little Cute Boy Walked on over and Sat on his Lap.
It was the most magical thing to ever see!!!
I Was trying so hard not to cry all morning…..came the time for the Whistle to let all the Navy Sailors know that it was time to Board the Ship…..and I lost it big time. I kept hugging him, and I didn’t want to let go.
He sure looked Good in Uniform 🙂
I can tell which one is our older son, even with all of those on board.
Travel Safely Melbourne, and keep EVERYONE on board safe.
This Ship is not important to me, its what’s on board that is. There is over 200 people on board Melbourne. May you all be safe, May you all be strong, and May the next Seven Months go bye so very fast.
Saying Goodbye was not the best day of my life. Saying Hello when they return will be.
PLEASE send all of your Prays, Thoughts, Love, And Support to every Crew Member.
Saying Goodbye And I Forgot to tell you I love you.
But I am writing it here so that you {my oldest son} will have this memory for when ever you need to know how much support is waiting for you at home.
Till we see you again….all of my love is sent to you Woody.
Your Mum for ever xxx
He knows you love him Lisa That I am sure off Ask there’s we always try to hold it together for everyone else. It’s just what we do. Reading your blog brings back those feelings of goodbye back to me. Mine is away for 3 years so I know how you feel. Just know he loves you and his home moving will be joyous
Thanking you Geri, for all of your support all of the time. It is so good to hear from another Mum who has been there before us, and whose words give me comfort. I am so feeling for you – three years will seem like a long time but I am sure {I am hoping} that it passes quickly. Funny how I can remember to say what I am feeling after wards but at the time I was crying too much for any words.
I have contacted him via PM and have also sent through a parcel to let him know how much I do love him 🙂 xxx
How proud you must be of your boy Lisa! And I’m sure he knows what you forgot to tell him! x
