    Hi Bob! I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to respond back. Morgan is deployed. He left the end of April. Right now, he's on a 4 day mission, then will return and on the 10th he and his group will be heading to a hot zone. He will be out of communication until his deployment ends. A very scare time for Ally, his wife, and us. The Lord has been so good. I am worried and scared, as a mom. However, I know that Morgan is being watched over and protected in a way I could never do. Since his division has left, there has been 7 deaths. One was a corpsman Morgan worked with at CP. That hit him pretty hard. He calls her most of the time and if there's anything to pass on, she'll text me. We don't get much information. They decided they weren't going to talk about him being there, so the questions I ask usually go unanswered. She and I have a 'block' in our relationship. We can talk about a lot of things, but when it comes to Morgan, we butt heads. For Andy's sake, I am glad this relationship turned out the way it did. Life, would've been so much harder and unhappy. Other than being bored, how is Andy liking the Navy? I am a grandma now. Our 17 yr old made a wrong decision. However, we have the sweetest grandson. He'll be 3 mths on Wednesday. His name is Gabriel and he has the sweetest smile that brightens up his whole face. We get him on the weekends. I don't know how things will work out for college next year, but I do know the Lord has control of that too. After Gabriel was conceived, Kelson turned his life over to the Lord. As he was coming up out of the water, from being baptized, he told us God told him the baby was his and that everything would be ok. Kelson never waivered from that. However, we chose to go ahead and have a paternity test done. The day before Father's Day, we received confirmation in the mail. That is a "quick" update. There is more going on, but it looks as if I've run out of space! Tell Taketa I said hello!
