Missing My Baby Boy

Posted on March 15, 2018 at 10:56am 8 Comments

Good morning all moms!

I'm fairly new at this, as my son just went in on 3-6-2018.

I received the box on 3-9-2018, and of course the scripted phone call.  No form letter, or communication since that night, and I'm literally falling apart, and have no idea what I would do w/o all the love and encouragement you all share.

I hope to be better educated though reading all the post/blogs.

I pray for you and your children daily, and am sending warm hugs to all the…

US Navy Recruit Separations (SEPS)

Have you gotten any answers on the Face Book for ship 5 SEPS?

At 10:43am on March 19, 2018, Phoenixmom said…

I am so sorry, my heart is so saddened by this, this is completly out of his control with being sick, there is a protocol that needs to be followed for him to be released, that is wht you have been given the info from LemonElephant. But I can understand you wanting him home now. I just hope he doesnt go into a depression, tell him he will be home soon, to keep his head up, this isnt the end of things, he just needs to focus on getting better right now.

Hi have you heard any new info on your Son. How is he feeling. Were you able to speak to him. I don't know to much about this part of it. But I see LemonElephant has given you information. She is such a wonderful person and has much knowledge. Please keep me posted if you don't mind, I would like to continue keeping in touch, I know how hard all this has been for you and then to hear more upsetting news. You are in my prayers.

At 2:04pm on March 18, 2018, Phoenixmom said…

Hi, I read your post, I am extremely sorry for all if what is going on. I wish your son well wishes and a speedy recovery. You tell him to keep his head up, and continue to strive for what is in his heart. My prayers are with you.
