Hello ladies,

I was wondering if your SR have received your letters. I received a letter from him this week saying that he hasn't receive any letters from me this past week. Have your SR experienced the same issue? I was just concerned because he thinks  I haven't write him :( which is not the case. And I know how much our letters help them and I want him to get my support on these last weeks.

 

I'm so excited for PIR!!!! See ya'll there :D

Alma,

My husband will go 2 days with no letters than get 13 all at once. I'm not sure how long it takes for them to process and sort them but maybe that is causing a delay? Hope he gets them soon!!!

Tonya, is he feeling better? I hope they are all doing well. I won't get a call this time, I told my son the next call was for his girlfriend.  She needs to hear froom him.  I'll take the I'm A Sailor Call.  She got a call but is working.  She sent me a text that he is ok and she will tell me all about it later.   Hope everybody gets one.

Talked to my SR today  :-)   He said that they would have an hour. It didn't turn out to be so. I was so happy to hear from him. Hope your SR's were able to reach someone at home. Mine said that he got letters this week but not sure which ones. He sounded good though. Tonya, I am so happy to hear that the div is doing well. Always good to hear. I can't believe only 2 more weeks!!!
