  And the Old. May someone take your picture today. May they hold your hand and thank you. May someone not be embarrassed to tell you how proud they are of your courage and strength. May they be the example to others that just walk by you….
  
  Pictured here is our son. A Marine. Holding a bottle that his dad just randomly picked from about 30 cold bottles sitting in ice.
  He has not been to war. He is 18 and has dedicated his life now and ahead of him,as so many others have,before and with him,to his country.
  
  He is not among some that are ruining their young lives with drugs,not able to even think of someone else,let alone,thank a Veteran,or even notice those that have moved on,those that have sacrificed their lives.

- First Time to Hug a Marine
  
  Posted at 7:08 pm by jengarynewadventures, on January 8, 2015
  Just a short amount of days and my husband and I will be spending Family Day with our son. This will be the very first time for me to hug a Marine. Our Marine. Your Marine.
  
  Encouragement, prayers, and many letters have traveled the distance back and forth, from him to us. He writes with pride, strength, and determination in himself. He says he is hungry and tired, with blisters on his feet, healed from bronchitis and pneumonia, coming through Basic Warrior Training, and heading in to the Crucible. He ends his letters with a promise that he is always praying for each one of us.
  
  A small stapled packet of numbers lay on our desk and I received great satisfaction today as I ripped off another day till I see him. Soon our candle will be lit, and our porch light burning!
  
  Our letters have been filled with bible verses, how proud we are of him, and what we are doing each day. I end each letter telling him, “You are strong. You are smart. You are determined. You are on the path you chose. You are following the direction the Lord lead you on.”
  
  Soon he will be standing with his brothers, tears streaming down their faces……Soon they will be protecting us. Soon we will be hugging a Marine.
  
  Our prayers have been going strong and they will continue on for each and every one of them forever. As he would say, TO INFINITY AND BEYOND…………..

  We lose, but look back and see we won.
  
  We take it to heart, that they did not run.
  
  We fight for what has always been right, to find out no one remembers the fights that were fought to give us these rights.
  
  We stand up for what we believe in, to find no one stands behind them.
  
  We see hopes and dreams become cries and screams.
  
  We say a prayer, and watch it travel in the air from here to there.
  
  We know there is hope, love, and sorrow.
  
  We watch them so tall, not ever wanting to see them fall.
  
  They are our children and their children. Our sons. Our daughters.
  
  We cry, we weep, we pray a lot longer.
  
  Along come more that head out the door.
  
  They are strong and young and brave,
  
  As we have raised them,
  
  With love for their country.
  
  Being All That They Can Be. Army.
  
  The Few The Proud. Marines.
  
  Honor Courage Commitment. Navy
  
  Aim High…Fly/Fight/Win. Air Force
  
  Semper Paratus. Coast Guard
  
  Standing strong for those that have come and gone.
  
  Our Hero’s, young and old,
  
  We thank you.

  I could try to be more creative on the title of my blogs, but it is just what it is. Our son leaves for Parris Island in 27 days and our family and friends could not be more supportive. We have been to Disney World twice since my last blog, had his graduation from high school, and went a few times to visit his Grandma and uncle in Indiana. We tried running with him and I ended up injured and looked like Tim Conway playing the part of the little old man that shuffles around on the Carol Burnett show. We still walk with him and I will get back in to running. We play the Harry Potter Clue game and watch the Clue movie which is a long-standing family tradition,we listen to and watch him play all his different video games, go to the movies and pig out on popcorn,and look at old family photos and smile remembering the great times we have had. I eagerly wait for him to share the latest Robot Chickens he has watched. I laugh harder when he tells about them, rather than actually watching one. We listen to him repeat every documentary word for word and I know he must be some kind of genius. He memorizes everything, he is interested in everything. We promise we will not cry till he leaves and we now call him a man ever since he graduated. We talk about being just the two of us and at first this kind of scared me. What the heck was I suppose to do? I have come to live for dirty clothes and dishes, running everybody everywhere,and being so rushed each day, but somehow pulling it together at the end of the day. But who cares about this now??!! What we are so excited about is making our children proud of us! Starting with us as a couple. Very strong in our love,marriage,and future and adding to our talents and changing who we are,too. So there have been some sleepless nights and long days and many many conversations on us breaking out of the rut of get up,coffee,devotions,work,supper,movie,sleep,start over again. Now the pressure is on! We have only 27 days left to really encourage each other to step out of our comfort zone and start writing, reading more, and beginning new businesses together and separately. Our big goal is to provide land for our children, become full-time RV travelers, and have a way to be together 24/7. Forever.

  Dear Alexander,
  
  We are so proud of you. Dad and I love you so much and have always prayed for, and protected you. We prayed for the very best in life for you. We believe there is a path for each one of us. We believe we are to step out and follow that path. We have seen you take those first steps to becoming a Marine. You have grown stronger both physically and mentally. You are looking forward and you will only look back to see us cheering you on, encouraging you to grow, mature, and become a man. We do not worry because now you pray for us and you will be the one protecting us, others around you, and your country. You may never read this because you do not know I started an actual blogging countdown, but here I am with 75 days left and I can not be more proud of you. I love you my smart, handsome, young man that the Lord blessed us with. Momma

- I’m so glad you’re near
  
  Posted at 2:02 pm by jengarynewadventures, on February 7, 2014
  I feel you sometimes and sometimes I feel you here all the time.
  
  I miss you when you are gone, but I know you are visiting Mom and Dad.
  
  Not many can make me smile and cry at the same time.
  
  But I am thankful you do because then I stop to think.
  
  I think if you are proud of who I have become?
  
  I really think you could have been so much more than me.
  
  Smarter, more patient.
  
  Wonderful!
  
  Your gentleness lives around me in the piano music I hear,the beauty in flowers and butterflies,as I breathe in the smell of the earth after it rains.
  
  I know you love me and I know you look down from heaven and smile.
  
  You know where I am and you stay close.
  
  Sometimes I pray and beg to be able to come there soon.
  
  I tell the Lord I am not strong enough and never will be to lose another person so close to me.
  
  That’s when I think how you would handle being here instead of me.
  
  You would get up.
  
  You would smile.
  
  You would help others.
  
  You would thank the Lord for taking me safely to heaven.
  
  You would feel me near you and you would stop to think.
  
  You would smile not cry, because you would know I am so proud of you.
  
  I am so glad you are near.
