Sorry to hear Amy. Hope something comes for you soon!

Comment by AmyaodRN on February 3, 2012 at 4:38am
FTLW- thank you for the hug and kind thoughts! I just need something from him that tells me he's okay, after that awful form letter!
Comment by AmyaodRN on February 3, 2012 at 4:36am
GF letters arrived Thursday. Based on scientific calculations ( lol) mine should have arrived Thursday as well. The postmark on the form letter was jan. 18. I had already figured that should be 1-1, that letter arrived on Jan. 21. I have only one other concern, he sent 8 in one envelope, and she said the envelope was pretty beat up. What happens if he overstuffs the envelope and postage is due? I know, I'm really reaching now. He told me what he was writing about every night in the form letter, and I know he didn't send that to HER. I pray tomorrow, but all of the family is in different zip codes, as well as GF, so it seems odd no one would have gotten a letter.

Oh Amy...I am hurting for you! When did the GF's letters arrive? Maybe yours are right behind? I am going to pray it is so.

Here is a hug:Cute smileys hug

Ian very happy for everyone that got letters, it must feel great, just to hear how your SR is doing!
Comment by AmyaodRN on February 3, 2012 at 4:14am
My heart hurts today, no letters for myself, or any family members. His girlfriend got 8 in 1 envelope. She said he marked the by day, but they only go up to day 11. He asked her for paper to write, stamps, and photos. My husband came and told me not to get up early, there was no letter when the mail arrived. I then woke up an hour later, sobbing in my sleep. Glad he is okay, but so sad I have no news of my own. His 16 year old sister is angry and says she isn't writing to him any more, until she gets a letter from him. She has been writing everyday, sending photos, and funny things they shared. I know we have to keep writing, but it is very painful right now! I have even included SASE with the address for home, no name, and his return address, to make it easier for him. I just don't understand.

YAY! I GOT A LETTER TODAY!. I literally threw all the other mail back in the box!  Who needs bills anyway? He said training is tough, but he loves it & said the food is great! So good to hear from him! Feels like an eternity since Jan. 10...
