Navy. It says Navy.
My son is Army. I read the word Navy and I felt relief and then I felt so ashamed of the relief that I had to sit down on the stairs.
Somebody's son is on that ship. I am so sorry. I am so sorry that my first feeling was about mine.

Tanya. Every single one of us on this street felt exactly that this morning when we saw it was not our husband's hull number.
It is not shame. It is what love does when it is frightened. Do not carry that one on top of everything else.
