My son left Aug. 26th and reading your words felt like I had written it myself. I’m feeling exactly all the same thoughts and emotions you are. It’s extremely hard on us Moms but we will get through it together. Thinking of ALL of you.

Nicole, that spacy feeling will ease up some. Yes you spent 18 years getting him ready and so it okay to feel overwhelmed when it's time to see him take that step. The need reach out and pull him back is what every parent feels. When my son called this weekend. I just couldnt get over how adult he sounded. So just know I cant promise it will get easier the worry never goes away but you find a way to make it work. I wish you son the best.

My son left 29th Aug. It's been a sadness like no other I've experienced. It's more like a physical sadness, like a heavy blanket. I've been writing everyday not sure when I'll get an address to send them to(anyone know?) I'm hoping I'll shake this a sadness soon, I mean I've spent 18 years preparing him to go out into the world and hopefully succeed. I'm sure he like all or children l will do great.

<p>InTheNavyMom I understand completely how you are feeling, my SR is leaving as we speak for BC and our "last dinner together" caught me so off guard as well. I am waiting for the I'm here call but have no idea when that will be. We live in Philadelphia and I have no idea of what's happening. </p>
<p>Equally difficult is not know and the ways things change on a dime - anyway, you are not alone - I have been crying since we parted and I can't understand why either. I am praying for all our sons…</p>

<p>I just came home to the form letter.. it was so great to finally have it and know at least he has got this far. His PIR is 10/11 too, but he is in DIV 374</p>
<p>I am counting down the days.</p>
<p>Going to get a Sandboxx letter done tonight , see if it will get to him quicker than snail mail,. Tomorrow I can start sending out all of the 10 letters i have already written . Lol!</p>
<p>Were does your son want to go for A school? Does he know yet? </p>

<p> hi Donna816 When I spoke to him briefly he said PIR was 10/11, but I have not received form letter yet . That was the day of their PT testing , so hopefully everything went ok with that and we will receive the letter soon. I have about 10 letters to mail to him . I cannot wait. </p>
<p>I will let you know when I have heard from him.</p>

<p>My son left today. I have been crying for the past three weeks everyday I think. A song I hear can trigger it. We had a lot of great quality time together, so those memories make me happy. He’s so ready. I have no doubt in my mind that he will succeed in his goals. 75 left out of Fort Meade, MD. 22 from the Navy. It was their largest deployment ever! I am so proud of these Sailors and am praying for their families tonight. I know you are hurting. </p>
