Mommy and Daddy are with ME!

Apr 1, 2009 | Posted by Lisa |

Dear Mom and Dad,

They drove straight through to get to me, and we are all together, and then we were all sleeping…

Dad fell asleep first, and then me, Mom visited with Nana for a second, and sat down next to me, and we all are having the best dreams ever!

Thank you for all the prayers to bring them from Fort Hood safely to Camp Nana!

REST UP MOM AND DAD, CAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE PARTY TIME THE WHOLE TIME WE ARE TOGETHER!

Thank you so much for coming so far and so fast to see me. I am so glad you made the trip safely, and even more happy to be in your arms tonight! I hope you are not too tired, because we have so much catching up to do…. and I will be awake soon and ready FOR KISSES AND HUGS…

Love Always, Little Miss Adorable, your daughter,

Guillianna!

Uh-oh….something tells me that our kids aren’t going to be happy with the new pics!

I’m glad they made it safely and are getting re-aquainted with serving the princess. Give my boy a big hug for me please Nana, then hug and kiss my precious Mackenzie for me.

I’m sorry that you took down the pix of the sleeping family. I enjoyed seeing the kids once again, even if they WERE zonked out. Tell them not to be ‘camera shy’.

I should have checked with them prior to posting yesterday, and since I hadn’t, I pulled it down until I could show them…. NOW THEY SAW.. AND SAID IT WAS OKAY. Don’t know that it REALLY is, but I think it is awesome them all together like that… moments like that are few and far between in this crazy world… and before you know it… the opportunity is gone…

Can’t tell you the last time our whole family was ‘zonked’ out together… I can’t even get them all in the same country at the same time…. When our son returns Mack and Tucker will be gone…

Maybe when they come home on R&R… who knows… hope to continue sending awesome pictures for all of the family to enjoy! Nana!

New Love Letters!

This site was originally written when Guillilanna was born. During her parents deployment and training, we would keep Guillianna in the Mitten. Then Elijah was born and he too was a frequent flyer to the Mitten. They lived with us on and off for nine years. Over the last deployment to Korea and during the past three years where in the kids lived with us for three consecutive years, the internet and this site was not really used to communicate with their parents, FACETIME was quick and easy. Their dad recently got out of the Army and they were relocated. We have not seen or talked with Eli or Guillianna for months. Last we saw them on FaceTime was May 2018. Last we held them December 2017, just after Christmas. Yet the reality is THIS IS NOT ABOUT just OUR BROKEN HEARTS- it is about theirs, ours and our entire family! for these kids who are so small and innocent, they have had a major change in thier lives. It is our hope that the journaling of our time together, and the and the new love letters for them will one day allow them to truly know the depth of love we ALL here in the Mitten have for them.

This site is also a special gift for our daughter, it documents all kinds of small details and images for her to keep, love and enjoy! These memories encompass nine and six years of the lives of her children! A true gift, that one day she may actually appreciate and have gratitude for. She doesn’t think of us as her parents at present, but maybe in the future, she will sit and reflect on all these memories, maybe she will see the love and dedication that she herself was given because of our love for her. If not, this journal, can hopefully one day allow Guillianna and Elijah to see and feel the truth, the love, and they will realize the amazing impact they have had on all of us here in the Mitten, and they will feel the love of all those who they spent their lives with, before embarking on the new journey they have begun. Friends, family alike have shared in nearly a decade of thier lives and all wish for the family to be happy. If it is a parents right and philosophy to “cut people out of your life like a kindergartener cuts out paper snowflakes” and raise their children to feel the same, this new set of love letters are written with the hope that in time the innocent will feel the love they HAVE always had, and the love they can ALWAYS carry it with them.
