IGNITE Day 87 – Pictures of Family Day MCRD

There are no words to express the kissing of soul when it touches lips with spirit… Today was Family Day at MCRD (Marine Corps Recruit Depot), San Diego and I got to see my newly minted Marine. What a day!

We arrived on base at 630am via Uber and went swiftly through security. Peole who drove had to exit their cars and have them canine searched. Here’s the first picture on the graduation deck after their 2-mile motivational run (Moto Run) where we spent almost the whole time looking for him in a sea of bodies and faces that all looked alike. I finally picked him out with my Serengeti camera lens. He’s smack between the second and third windows from the right.

 

So glorious to finally hug him and hang on forever!!!!!!!
He bought us dinner at the fabulous Bay View Restaurant after a very long wait for a shuttle. What a gorgeous campus. Then he gave us a tour of the grounds.
I love the generations… Grandpa Paul flew in from Michigan.

 

 

 

Brother arrived after Family Day celebrations in time for dinner. It’ll be great to have him at the formal Graduation Day tomorrow. Thank you, cousin, for the stand-by ticket! Such a blessing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

James on my lap before leaving for bootcamp. I missed that and his precious kisses every single day for 3 months.
He grew about an inch. Nonetheless, he will always be welcome on my lap… 

Aunty Maggie from Kenya called us and we had a precious video call. Thank you, Lord, for the gift of technology. Thanks to you all for your support, prayers, and interest in his progress and my status. You are platinum to me. Thank you, Lord for being with my warrior, “like a mighty warrior!” Jeremiah 20:11.
