Carpmart, I too searched all his pockets for a hidden note; there wasn't one. I also struggle with knowing that he will probably never live under my roof again. The sudden empty nest  has been harder than I currently care to admit. 

Thank goodness for this site! I'm not a natural "sharer" so being able to read posts, that I could have wrote, validates the tears that randomly decided to trickle down my cheeks.

Hi all!  My SR left last Tues 4/21, and I've been so proud of myself, I've held myself together pretty well this past week, only shed a couple of tears during his swearing in, got his box and it didn't really stir any emotion in me except a slight disappointment there wasn't any hidden notes.  But last night it finally hit my 5 year old that her big brother wasn't there, and that finally triggered something in me, Holy cow do I miss my boy! When he was away at college it wasn't such a big deal because he came home for visits quite often and he was accessible by phone, text and Facebook.  But this is so much different.  I know he's only un accessible for these 8 weeks during BC,  but the reality is.  He probably wont be living under my roof ever again. he'll be 25/26 years old when his enlistment is over, and even if he doesn't re-enlist he probably wont be living at home. The reality that he's a grown man, making important decisions on his own and living his life independtly without his family.  I all of a sudden the house seemed so quiet and lonely without him.  Ok, im being mellow dramatic now, but you ladies are probably the only ones that understand how im feeling.  Thanks for listening.

I got "the box" yesterday! I am looking forward to seeing legible handwriting on the form letter... it's the little things that keep me going.
