And I habe too wait patiently to receive the form letter to give a date.</p>
<p>And I completely understand when you say you think your life will never be the same. I said the exact same statement to my father in law who is as well Army Veteran. He said this to me " Rubie you may hear me and not listen right now, but you are absolutely correct, he will not be the kid that left your house on Wednesday. Your life will never be the same. He will be a man, a responsible one when you see him on graduation from BC. But what's wrong with that, you raised him to be respectful, hard worker, do for others even if they may or may not return the favor. So be the proud mom that when people ask about him you tell them, my son is great and my hero. Because he standing up to protect this nation, allowing others his generation, younger generation and older to speak their minds or do absolutely nothing. The Lord watches over the Men and Women doing for others, pray,love and have faith'...</p>
<p>Now he was right, I heard all he said but at that moment I did not pay attention to what he said. Like a new country song you remember the beat but not the words. When recalled the conversation he is right. Know I haven't told him this because that retired Sergeant Major doesn't Neff to know everything lol. Jk i will tell him today. </p>
<p>You and your son and family are in my prayers. </p> Hi,

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My daughter also shipped out on 6/20. She is my younger daughter and her sister graduated high school and college and moved to CA for a great job opportunity. We are from NJ. I am on my own in my empty nest and I totally get how you feel. It's like an emotional roller coaster. I try to focus on how good this step is for her and that she can do it.

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My daughter also shipped out on 6/20. She is my younger daughter and her sister graduated high school and college and moved to CA for a great job opportunity. We are from NJ. I am on my own in my empty nest and I totally get how you feel. It's like an emotional roller coaster. I try to focus on how good this step is for her and that she can do it. Then I see her swing set and walk by her room, and things get tough. I am a teacher, and school just ended, so I go from cleaning the house like a fiend to plopping on the couch and not being able to do too much. I'm also from a military family, but this is really hard. Hopefully, when we get our kids' addresses and we can finally send letters to them, then we'll feel better. I'm in this with you and all of the other parents of our 6/20 group. Hopefully this basic training time will pass quickly and we'll be able to cheer our kids on at graduation! My daughter is a hospital corpsman and will be heading to San Antonio, TX after PIR. Hang in there! We've got to just breathe and keep on keeping on. :)</p> I hear you mom, loud n clear.…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2018-06-24:1971797:Comment:103990102018-06-24T18:57:38.813Z1underGodhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/1underGod
<p style="text-align: left;">I hear you mom, loud n clear. My heart hurts every time I read posts from Mom's whose child just left for BC. It takes me back to Sept 2017 when my oldest son left home.

<p style="text-align: left;">I hear you mom, loud n clear. My heart hurts every time I read posts from Mom's whose child just left for BC. It takes me back to Sept 2017 when my oldest son left home. Things did change ...but for the better. We have grown so much closer. Closer than we have ever been. He's expressed his love and appreciation,for what my husband n i have tried to do for him his whole life, with the most thoughtful words imaginable. Remember to write letters n and cards as often as possible expressing ur love n support for him as well as updates about happenings in town , sports etc. Sharing good news with him will help u feel more connected. Encouraging the other siblings to write or draw pictures would be fantastic too. Overall, pray n strengthen ur faith. It's the only thing that got us through it. Finally, thank you for your service to our country. You already ensured the protection of our country. Now u can hold ur head up high knowing u raised a fine young man who will ensure the protection of us all. God bless.</p> HiTarahlou,

HiTarahlou,<br />
I’m an Arizona mom as well. When I had days like that while he was in boot camp I would write him a letter or do something that would make me feel closer to him. I also remind myself how extremely proud of him that he is taking on this adventure. Good cries helped too — I’m not gonna lie. Lol. My son’s PIR was 4/13 and I still have days like this. He is in A school now and we have more communication, which I am grateful for, as I will typically reach out to him those days. PM me if…
