[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 593908, member: 1514"] Im not gonna say my happiest days were having the boys because I can hardly even remember those days to be honest. I mean they were good days but all of them came with some form of difficulties attached to them. I wouldnt change the fact that they are here though. I loved being a sports mom with Jamie and Cory when they were in elementary school. They just enjoyed it so much. Tony and I coached Cory's touch football team and he caught the most perfect touchdown. It is one of his best memories of his childhood. He was 7. I loved watching all 3 of the boys heading off through the fields to go fishing in a pond together or just out to play in the old barns on the property we were renting. They could play outside all day without me worrying about them. I think one of my absolutely proudest moment was when Jamie graduated Parris Island Boot Camp. The entire family was there including my father. It was exactly 60 years to the month from the time that my father had graduated from Parris Island too to enter the Marines. There wasnt a dry eye among us. The ceremony was wonderful. When they dismissed the new Marines from the parade grounds Cory jumped the rope before we could even stand up and with tears running down his face he ran straight to his brother and hugged him so tight. Before Jamie left they had been almost mortal enemies...lol. When Jamie walked over to where my family was standing the first thing that happened was my father looked up at his grandson and saluted him. Jamie's training officer saw that and came over and asked my dad if he had been in the Marines and when my dad said yes, they called over several other Marines and they all made a fuss over my Dad as a WWII Marine and saluted him. It was so amazing. Of course Im very proud right now of Cory. [/QUOTE]
