When I got Andrew's e-mail this AM, I was interested in what he's been doing. He talked about getting "stores" which is when a supply ship brings them more stuff: food, potable water, supplies, etc. He also described watching two dolphins entertain him while he helped re-fuel the ship. Then he asked me to scan a drawing he did a few years ago because when he gets into port, he's going to get another tattoo. I was o.kay with that until he asked me for the year Grammy died. What? When do I get acknowledged in a frickin' tattoo? I thought "Mom" was one of the first tattoos Navy guys got. Guess I was wrong again!
So, being the good, responsive mother that I am, I scanned his drawing and sent the date along with it. Guess I've missed out on the tattoo again!! Forever his "second mother" . . . .

When I was at your party Andrew told me he would be getting that same tatoo he drew and it was hanging on the wall in his bedroom, Mom are you really sure you want to have a brand like "MOM" on your son? and I can just hear the Navy boy's getting on him about that... You are tatooed on his heart the best place to be!!! Hope it is cool Drew, amazing what a little shore time will do to a salior.
Actually, I like those tattoos that say "mom" when his arm is one way, but when turned over the tattoo says, "wow"! Then I can always wonder if I'm "mom" or "wow" . . .
How many Tatoos does he have now? Each port brings on another tat.. Better stay on ship or he will be all tated like his Uncle Don. And we will still love him just the same, cuz he is a Styes and tatoos are a family thing I guess..
