Nice thread:
I was called back from the USS Kitty Hawk in the North Arabian Sea, 1987. My Dad had Leukemia and was in the University of Michigan Hospital. I was fortunate enough to be able to say goodbye to my Dad and see my Mom though a terrible few weeks.
My wife was a student Nurse about to graduate, and one of the Nurses who took care of my Dad. She was very nice to my Mom and even sent her a sympathy card. Mom forwarded that on to me out at Sea on the ship. We began to write, and went on a date when I next visited home.
She then followed me to my next duty station as a traveling Nurse. Honolulu, go figure. She stayed. We have been married 19 years yesterday, and have two wonderful children. My Mom has two grandchildren and a daughter.
