stranger to the board

Hi Everyone,

I know to the people that have had their surgery 3+ years now you know who I am, for the newbies, I've been around for a long time....lol.

I just stopped in to say HI and to let you all know that I getting ready to take a trip to a destination that will make me the proudest mom in the world.  I leave on Oct 7th for Parris Island, SC to see my son graduate from Marine Corp basic training on 10/9.  I am jumping out of my skin with excitement.  He left on 7/12 and besides a 15 sec phone call on 7/13 I haven't spoken to him or heard his voice since then.  I've had 5 letters in 2 months (he's not a writer). 

The job is AWESOME!!!  I love working from home and have been on commission for 2 months now and love the pay.  I am getting ready to move to Bridgeville, DE to a house instead of the little apartment I've been in for the past year. 

Life is good for me and I've been blessed many times over.  I thank God everyday for the awesome job He sent me and now with the house. 

Hope everyone is doing good.  I miss you all very much and someday I will get to a support group meeting again.  My schedule is off on Tue, Wed and Sat, so I can make a couple of meetings now, I just hate to leave downstate, I love it down here. 

Talk to you soon,
Deanna

wow -- glad things are going well.  I was just thinking about your son the other night I was on ambulance crew  with Patrick.

It is hard to believe that it is almost time, but it is.  Patrick is going to graduation with us and I know he will be the proud dad as well as John Janowski, they have both played an important part in Jonathan's life over the years.  I am sure you will see Jonathan up at the firehouse on his leave, it will be hard to keep him out of there I'm sure.  I hope he doesn't spend his entire time up there, he has a lot of people who want to see him.  I will post pictures as soon as I can.  If anyone has Facebook friend request me and you will see the pictures as soon as they are taken. 

3 weeks and counting.  YEAH!!!!!

Good to hear things are going well.  I will look for you on FB :)

Take care,  Ellen
