Ann, Yes we did have a couple of moms who forgot the "+4 zip code" and had their boxes returned. New Post Office rule requires the 9-digit zip.
OMG, I am in tears right now. ;( As soon as he landed in Chicago on Wednesday and had a chance to call me, I tried so hard not to cry while talking to him. It was only for less than 5 minutes that we spoke. He kept telling me 'mom, I got this, I am and will be ok. I am just worried about you. Mom you will not hear from me in 3 to 4 wks from now but know that I am ok.' I was at a Drs. appointment with my 18 yr old daughter and as soon as we ended the conversation and hung up I busted out in tears in front of everyone that was at the Drs office. I couldn't contain myself. Thank you so much for the advice, I don't want him to worry therefore, I will try to hold my tears when he calls. I already have 3 letters ready to be sent to him & looking forward to his Graduation day. I am glad I came accross this site & be able to share my emotions with others. Like mom always say...There is always a reward in all-hard work and sacrifices, so you must be patient and stay strong in all circumstances." God bless you and your family! :)
