<p>Hello Rhinosmom,</p>
<p>I know he's been gone only 2 1/2 weeks but I've been keeping my cell phone glued to my side because I am terrified I will miss his call. I've sent him two letters already and about to write the next one to mail tomorrow. My son is my only child and I am a single parent so it's been a rough go at this. I've got work and school to keep me busy but it's hard being at home without him. I can tell you it's been harder than I thought having him leave me. One lovely mom told…</p>

I've got work and school to keep me busy but it's hard being at home without him. I can tell you it's been harder than I thought having him leave me. One lovely mom told me it gets easier with each step they take (boot camp, A school, training, etc.) so I am just trying to get through each day. I have good days and bad but I just really would love to hear his voice. Prayers and hugs to you and your son.</p> rhinosmom, That call in 3 wee…tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2015-02-25:1971797:Comment:89551122015-02-25T21:46:57.309Zlemonelephanthttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/lemonelephant

<p>My son (youngest child and only son) left on Feb. 23 for bootcamp. I am very proud of him but worried to death. He is in the nuke program. I don't know if it is going to get any easier to handle this. I'm already anxiously waiting on his first real call which in the scripted call he said 3 weeks. I can repeat that call back word for word and I was half asleep when he called.</p>

<p>Hello Omama,</p>
<p>I am still a mess! I had all these grand plans for myself after he left but now I have no motivation to want to do anything right now. I think I just need that first phone call or letter from him and then maybe I'll be okay. I don't know if I am just wacky or making this harder on myself than I need to. Deep down I know he is okay but I miss him terribly. I will hang on to every word you wrote and just try and get through each day. I have some good and bad days right now…</p>

My son has been in for a little over 3 years, i was a mess when he was in boot camp, now after SEER schools and deployments, i dont worry much anymore. I love seeing how independant and responsable he has become. So yes it gets easier with every advancement! Hang in there momma:)

<p>Hi jkissy! I received my son's box on Thursday and then today I got his graduation information. It's been getting a little easier each but today is his birthday so that made it a little rough. But just getting the graduation info made my day! Good luck to you and your son!</p>

<p>Hi GrimboSue,</p>
<p>These young men and women really are incredible people and the pride I have for my son is just overwhelming. But I have to confess, last night was torture for me. I cried all the way home from work and I am so emotionally exhausted now! I hope you are doing well today.

<p>Hi GrimboSue,</p>
<p>These young men and women really are incredible people and the pride I have for my son is just overwhelming. But I have to confess, last night was torture for me. I cried all the way home from work and I am so emotionally exhausted now! I hope you are doing well today. I am sure the emotions will come and go and I think just knowing we are going to have these precious creatures we created protecting our country is such an honor. I will keep you and your son in my prayers. I am so grateful to all who posted back to me. It's nice to know that I have all of this support. If you need to vent or cry, I am here!</p>
