Happy Mother's Day Mama!!! I love you with all my heart!!
And I also have to do some bragging!!

Happy Birthday to my sweet sister...Theresa!!! I love her so much!! She is one very very very special person to me and she will never know how much she means to me!!! 
One of Justin's friends that is in his squad got in touch with me yesterday, he is back in North Carolina...He was shot and has to have some surgery!! He said Justin was good when he left back at the end of April!! I am hoping for a Mother's Day phone call but if not...I know that he is busy and that if he could get to the phone he would call me!! Just pray for these guys...things are still going on over there and our boys are still in danger!!
