SUNDAY SHIPPERS 🤩 saying goodbye (for now) to my first poolee I ever enlisted and my first two females. What a year this has been watching you guys grow and progress into the women you are today.Thank you for giving me a sense of girlhood this past year. I’ll miss all the lunch.
Poolee Stevens graduated the other night!! One of the first girls to ever step foot in my office last April. Also my first graduation of the year 🥹 next stop for her is San Diego in July for boot camp!! 🦅
This is me in 1958, age 5 helping my stepmom in the kitchen.
She’s at the sink washing dishes and I’m right there “helping” by putting them away in the cabinet. No TV in the background, no distractions just the two of us working together after supper.
Those were the days of real kitchens, real chores, and little kids learning.
Who else has memories like this? The smell of dish soap, the clink of plates, and feeling so grown-up “helping” in the kitchen?
Dear Lord,thank you for allowing my body to be the portal between Heaven and Earth.On this special day,we lift up all mothers.Thank you for their love, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication. Bless them with joy,peace,&strength.May they feel appreciated & cherished today & always
This past week l've been thinking a lot about LCpl Daniel Montano, his family, his friends, and the young man that tried to save his life that night. I wanted to share some prayers I wrote the other day. The first one dedicated to Daniel, the second dedicated to his friends #USMC
