Amber, My son Sam said that the guy in the next rack is older and married and said his wife knows Sam's mom on this site. Could it be? Sam said they are getting to be friends. So who knows? He knew that I was CotwinsSalorsMom. I just noticed I have a typo in my name on here, oh well. Got a call and This afternoon. Could have been Sam who called you.

It appears my other txt did not post...Got a call from Banana Boy!!! Steve's twin, Sam. He passed a test so gets two calls this week. He had his mole removed and finds out tomorrow is it is + for melanoma. Please pray. They did say that if it is + he will have surgery and have some down time and PIR will possibly be delayed. At least they did not say he would be going home!!!

I'm so happy for everyone who got to talk to their SR tonight. My Jake called, and I was completely surprised. He did warn me however, that this was the last phone call they were getting for awhile. I'm really not sure why, but apparently there is a period during training they can't call home?? He is still coughing a lot, but I think he is doing better mentally. He says he has a great division. While I was thrilled to hear his voice, my heart is heavy knowing it will be awhile before I can talk to him again. In his last letter to me, he said "it really sucks when they pass out letters every night and you don't get one." So, I am definitely going to make it a priority to send him at least a note each day. Have a wonderful evening ladies!

Hi Betsy.... My son said the same thing, has a little cold that he is fighting and that it bums him out if he doesn't get mail every day. I promised him I would send letters everyday now, especially since they won't be calling home as often now. I was sending 3-4 letters a wk including cards, guess that's not enough. Ha.

I know Kim!! I feel bad about not writing enough. Lesson learned :) Today, I tore out the June 21st page of one of those calendars that has a page for each day and stuck it in a card. Just wanted him to have a reminder that their big day is coming soon!!

Betsy- what a great idea that is with the calendar. I will also do that! :) he seemed a bit down today, which I'm sure missing home is setting now, which keeps me even more motivated to write every day from here on out.

I'm not sure but when Sam called me he mentioned the guy in the rack next to him is 31 and married and that his wife knew me as my CoTwinMom name. He said how Sam really likes him,
